Austria Bangles Bracelet Gold Jewelry.

For many parents with newborn children in the Caribbean, it is an expected gift. Thus, shopping for a toddler’s christening or first birthday is not a difficult task. While one appreciates the gesture of the copper or silver, the gold is preferred.  Each child wears it until his/her wrist outgrows it, however, it is expected that the child will keep this important piece of jewellery and pass it on to their offspring.

We also see them adorning the wrist of many West Indian women. In addition to being a highly desired piece of fashion jewellery, it also serves as a symbol of social status. The more gold pieces one has, it serves as an indication that she possesses wealth.  The current representation of this piece of jewellery 

is quite ironic given its powerful roots and history.For many parents with newborn children in the Caribbean, it is an expected gift.
