Thanks to an expensive marketing campaign by the diamond sellers, may people do not know that actually gold bracelets are one of the most popular kinds of jewelry in the world. While diamonds can be seen on billboards and magazine ads everywhere, in truth they need to be pushed that hard because in our culture diamonds make good gifts for only a handful of occasions, such as engagements, weddings and anniversaries. So what is new in the hard-working work of gold bracelets? So here’s a quick run down on the most popular trends in contemporary gold bracelets.

Today’s hottest styles run the gamut between elegant and flashy, such as gold bangle bracelets, thick gold chain bracelets, and ornate Byzantine gold bracelets. No doubt about it, glamour is still sometimes ostentatious, in particular when Hollywood fashion is calling the shots, but there is no hard and fast rule these days. Actually, this year’s hottest trends seem to be more about using gold to accent other features, rather than standing out and making its own statement. At last year’s Golden Globes, for example, Julie Ormond accented her evening apparel with wide but simple gold cuff bracelets that could have suited Woman Woman. And then there’s elegant Miley Cyrus, who is still getting used to being a celebrity style maker – she has been seen recently wearing a single thin gold bangle that is very understated.

From this vantage, it looks like gold has emerged from the “bling” stereotype as a versatile material for all kinds of bracelets. Whether you like thin gold link bracelets or thick gold chains, there are plenty of fashionable gold bracelets available today – you simply can’t go wrong.
