A Touch Of History Featuring Silicone Bracelets

By Roger Edwards


In almost every activity today, in the 21st century, there is one common trend that you could see. Whether in concerts, outreach programs, and the like, there is an object almost always present. Some think of it as too mainstream. Others just go with the flow, but are not really into it. There are also some who create businesses with these things because they find it timely and of significance. You might belong to either one or two of these group of people just mentioned. But that is not important, because no matter which group you belong, this article is still for you.

The jewelry industry is so rich when it comes to accentuating your daily OOTD or Outfit Of The Day with some simple blings and sparkles. But as mentioned earlier, there is this one awesome creation existent for more than ten years now, and it is making its way through the mainstream market. These things are called Silicone Bracelets.

Wristbands have been so mainstream ever since they were created and never once did anyone get bored and fed up of using them. But the journey of the hip arm jewelry did not stop there. Some brilliant mind came up with the greatest lightweight arm companion ever known to man.

The LIVESTRONG campaign was what drove these rubber armbands to the shore. It was spearheaded by Lance Armstrong for his advocacy on cancer awareness and research, under the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The events that followed were just overwhelming. The bracelets were now in almost every campaign and advocacy movement.

There are around 1,750,000 online results for companies that sell this type of merchandise. Many of which specialize in the production of customized blings. Some shops even offer wholesale prices for the creation of personalized versions of the merch.

Years ago, all the people had was ribbons. They would pin it on their shirts during special gatherings and events. There is also a different meaning for every color of the ribbon.

Even the performing arts is not exempted from this trendy fashion item. Invitations to rock concerts and theater performances now have the bracelets as giveaways and souvenirs. Almost every one on the planet is getting the hang of this elastic armband.

Now, this highly used object is on its way to the mobile gadget industry, too. Universal phone bumpers are now taking the form of these rubberized bracelets. It is universal because it can fit any size of any mobile phone, may it be extra small to iPhone 6 Plus size. Girly girl vlogs also feature these things being used as ponytail holders.

It is remarkable how a seemingly simple object could be used for various reasons. This simple piece of silicone has become a hip trend all around the world. It has become so mainstream even celebrities have experienced wearing these small pieces of rubber around their wrists. So if you say that these pieces of rubber are baggy, you might want to think again. After all, style is not about sticking to the rules. It is about going around those rules, but never breaking them. Do not be scared about the fashion police. They know fashion violators when they see one. If you get caught, go around.
