It can be made from absolutely any material - from the usual thread with an anchor and ending with precious metal inscribed with precious stones. The main value of such a product is its spiritual meaning.
Features and meaning
It has long been assumed that the anchor as an attribute in the wardrobe is usually worn only to those people who have connected their lives with the sea. In fact, this product has long been worn by people who are not at all connected with marine life.
It has long been known that the anchor is a symbol of stability, stability and tranquility. Men engaged in business love this symbol very much in their clothes, as it carries a semantic value. A men's bracelet in this form, especially if it is made of expensive materials, can make an elegant addition to the business image.
A women's product with an anchor fastener also has a powerful energy value. Safety, reliability and balance - all these signs are characteristic of this attribute. For women, it means economic, loyalty and wisdom.
Very often, people who are prone to constant movement (by virtue of work, for example) put this product on hand, even if they are completely far from fashion.
The bracelet is very easily adjustable on the wrist, the anchor is threaded into the loop and secured with a sliding knot. The size is also very easy to adjust by its hand.
Color solutions
Sea style is available only to the most courageous people who are used to stand out from the crowd. Today, manufacturers offer a wide range of bracelets made of various materials for any wallet.
For example, jewelry on a genuine leather strap is considered the most expensive and luxurious, and the clasp is made of precious metal, gold or silver. Particularly advantageous and expensive is the dark brown braided holder and the golden anchor, decorated with precious stones.
You can also pay attention to the bracelet, interlaced with ropes of different colors. If you do not want to go beyond the maritime theme, then the colors of the rope should be combined with each other and be in the marine colors.
Also, such an accessory will help to create a bold image of a rock star, if two colors intertwine in it, for example, black and red or black and yellow.
Incredibly stylish looks the product from brown leather or leather substitute in combination with the copper color of the anchor itself. This decision looks very expensive.
For more extravagant fashionistas, there is another very interesting solution: a sleek blue strap combined with a sleek silver anchor. Such minimalism looks very modern on a thin female hand.
This bracelet is universal. The most winning option remains the style of clothing casual and thin leather accessory. You can add the image of additional straps in the same style. It will also be very cool to watch a marine-style watch, especially if there is an anchor image on the dial or strap.

How to do it yourself
Not everyone can afford to buy an expensive anchor bracelet made of genuine leather and precious metals. Sometimes this accessory is worn as a memory of a particular event and it is not at all necessary that it be expensive. It is very easy to make yourself an ornament with an anchor.
The easiest way to make such a bracelet is to buy a ready-made anchor and a few skeins of not fluffy yarn of different colors. Already two colors will be enough to make the bracelet look interesting. And the big plus is that if you wish, you can always make a new attribute that fits to the wardrobe.
Next, measure the required length. For two or three cups around the brush will need about half a meter of yarn of the same color. When the required length is measured, you need to fix the cut strands. For example, on a pencil or screwdriver. In order to braid a pigtail of the resulting strands, you need to fix the base, for example, by attaching a pencil / screwdriver to the table. When the braid is braided, its edge needs to be sewn up so that the bracelet does not sell. Cut off the excess thread, you need to sew a loop to the edge. The anchor itself will be mounted on this loop. For greater strength, we use a clip on the area where the loop is sewn to the edge of the bracelet. We apply the same technology to the other edge of the bracelet, but instead of a loop we sew a ready-made anchor, which can be ordered in advance. The bracelet is ready. This accessory is suitable for both men and women. The main thing is to correctly and harmoniously choose the color of the product to the main wardrobe.
A more sophisticated version of the marine accessory is more suitable for women, and making it will be a little more difficult. To do this, choose six pieces of twisted cord about 25 cm long and tie the ends together with a tight single thread so that the cords are not untied. Next, tie the cords in pairs according to the chosen color style. The resulting three pairs to connect the clip with pliers. Then we connect them with a ring with a decorative chain. The resulting strands are woven into a pigtail, leaving the chain on top. With the help of connecting rings fasten both ends of the resulting pigtails. The final step will be to attach a decorative anchor to one of the bracelets.
Another great piece of jewelry can be made with your own hands, using a steering wheel instead of an anchor. Manufacturing technology is very similar to an anchor bracelet, but instead of the anchor pendant, we use a different pendant. As a fixation on the product connecting rings are strung. This bracelet will look very stylish in a single version. If you use a bracelet with a steering wheel and anchor, you get a combined double bracelet. Sea accessories, such as earrings, brooch or pendant perfectly complement the image.
How to tie and wear
To tie a bracelet with an anchor is not difficult. If the bracelet has a loop at the back end, you just need to anchor in this ring and the bracelet will lock.If the bracelet is fixed with the help of connecting rings, then you can fasten it just like any bracelet of a similar type.
Wearing a bracelet with an anchor should be very careful, because the teeth of the anchor itself are quite sharp and can catch on the clothes. Sharply taking the hand out of the pocket on which the bracelet with the anchor was worn, you can damage it or tear it. In bad taste, especially for men, if the bracelet is worn over a shirt or cardigan. Still, such an accessory should carefully peek out from under the outerwear, and not brightly sparkle on it.
