What Is a Custom Bangle Bracelet?
A custom bangle bracelet is a rigid, complete circle—no clasp, no break—symbolizing eternity in cultures from India to Hawaii. Personalize it and you transform that symbolism into your story: a grandmother’s handwriting, the GPS point where you proposed, or a child’s birthstone.
