handcrafted jewelry that hints us of the existence of these bracelets

After the World War II, the Para cord bracelets became very popular. These were also known as

survival bracelets and military bracelets. One of the main reasons for the bracelet to be tagged as

survival / military bracelets is because it used to be often used for a rescue purpose. Para cord,

used in parachute, is a reliable material that is elastic, versatile and sturdy. It does not wear away

easily and is durable. Being light weight, people could carry it along easily. If required, it could

be untied and let loose to make long string or rope and be used as a rescue rope. Hunters used it

to keep track of their route that they could take the same route back without getting lost. Today

there are stylish paracord bracelets, made of attractive colored strings. These are given as a

symbol of strong and deep friendship that promises to stand by, committed in testing times.
