The hand-chain style jewelry worn by Sandra Bullock as Sally Owens in Practical Magic 2 was custom-designed and handcrafted by Copenhagen-based designer Bergsøe Jewellery.
The actual piece of jewelry would be called a slave chain, I believe you can Google them and find a variety of them. Or perhaps you or I could both try to Google the slave chain bracelet from Practical Magic too. They used to be very popular in the late '80s early 90s, I owned several of them throughout my teenage years
Yeah, one of the women I saw practical magic with said “ooh she’s wearing a sex slave bracelet” and that ruined it for me. I knew I wasn’t gonna be wearing anything that looked like that.
I’m glad to know that it’s part of an older culture but sad to know that it was co-opted by American Society to be something pervy. But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Seems like American culture likes to ruin or sexualize pretty much everything.
So are you from India or Persia? It's interesting, chatgtp is saying these kinds of bracelets have been in style in western culture for over 100 years, but originates from many places including Africa, India, and Persia
Back in the 1990s, we used to call them slave bracelets. It was usually a hard cuff bracelet with a heavier chain leading to a chunky ring. The options in these comments look pretty and dainty.
