GET WITH THE TREND: FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS

Friendship bracelets are ancient, but their resurgence is modern.  The 'fad' of friendship bracelets reappeared  when they were seen on protesting Guatemalans.  During protests into the disappearance of the Mayan Indians and peasants in Guatemala.  The friendship bracelets were brought into the United States by religious groups for use in political rallies.  Friendship bracelets can have many meaning and symbolic uses which includes friendship, folk art or social statements.  In modern America, they are generally made by adolescent girls.  Originally, these colorful bands were invented by Indians in Central and South America.

According to tradition, you tie a bracelet onto the wrist of a friend you may wish for something at that moment.  The bracelet should be worn until is is totally worn-out and falls off by itself, at which moment the wish is supposed to come true.

Here are some of our favorites,
