glass bangles
Brittle arm rings
Glass bangles are rigid circular bracelets made of colored glass, worn as traditional jewelry in South Asian cultures, particularly by married women in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
They're typically worn in sets on both wrists, producing a distinctive clinking sound with movement.
The bangles are fragile and often broken during removal, making them semi-disposable adornments replaced regularly.
