The main difference between a bangle and a bracelet is that, a bangle is firm with no latch as opposed to a bracelet that may or may not be firm but is assembled using an ornate latch. Women’s bracelet comes in a wide range of varieties, including simple chain type bracelets to ornate stone encrusted bangle type bracelets. From vast and chunky temple jewellery bracelets to simple and light daily wear bracelets. There is also a variety of bangles called Kada bangles, which are heavy and chunky but have a latch so ornately disguised that only the wearer would know that it is a latch.
