Wrap bracelets have been around for years, but new styles updated with jewels, beads, hardware and clever designs are showing up in jewelry stores, boutiques and department stores.
Tamara Dillard, owner of Sophie’s, a gift shop on North Market Street, said the demand for wrap bracelets has been so high that she has had to reorder.
“We picked up a couple of different [styles] because they are so versatile, all ages love the look, and they have a cool layered feeling,” Dillard said.
“Our most popular styles are with the gold and silver beads,” she said. “Wrap bracelets are not fussy and really give off a cool artisan look.”
Depending on the style, a wrap bracelet might encircle the wrist once or multiple times. One favorite at Sophie’s, Dillard said, is a double-wrap leather bracelet with gold studs. The look is easy to wear, she said, because it works well with dressy or casual fashions and can be mixed with other gold accessories or even other bracelets.
