How to Make a Bracelet W/ Ring Attached
Brief History: This style bracelet is called a Slave Bracelet. Slave Bracelets have been around for a long time. They were popular in the 20's and 70's. There are many different styles of Slave Bracelets. Slave Bracelets actually get their name because the ring is a "slave"to the bracelet and has nothing to do with actual slavery at all. They were very common in the renaissance era and are making their way back in style. http://www.slavebraceletsbyjen.com/slave-bracelet-history/ (this is my source for the brief history)
