hey slave braclets are actually very beautiful and come from before the reniassance period. they're called slave braclets because the ring is “slave” to the braclet. now a days it's more of a gothic jewlery item but when they were first created they were actually very classy and many rich people wore them as symbols of status. also the witches and gypsies wore them as status symbols and used them for spritual purposes as well.

Try looking at early native american jewerly. You will find many beautiful “slave bracelets” that have nothing to do with “witches and heavy metal”. It is a style that has been around for hundreds of years.

These type of bracelets originated in the middle east. Look at belly dancers. As to the reference of a “witch who got into heavy metal”, I find that comment offensive to the wicca/pagan/druid community. Try doing a little research before making such absurd comments. Also, jewelry is a personal preference. If you don’t like them, don’t wear them! >:o

these “contraptions” as you call them are a part of traditional indian jewelry. you should research the origins of the things before you condemn them as “crimes of fashion past.”
