Explaining the fashion for celebrity Kabbalah bracelets

Ancient religions and mystical cultures have always been a hot target for fashion trends in the world of celebrities. In recent years, we have seen a remarkable growth in the number of celebrities beginning to sport the famous Kabbalah bracelet.

Kabbalah is a study of the Jewish Bible with a rich history dating back thousands of years. The teachings of Kabbalah are based on a set of spiritual principles. The Kabbalah bracelet is traditionally worn to ward off the negative powers of the evil eye and to provide rich spiritual guidance in times of need.

Worn on the left wrist, a standard Kabbalah bracelet has a rather simple red woven appearance. But as celebrities have flocked to the craze, we’ve seen more extravagant bracelets hit the market. The cost of a Kabbalah bracelet can range from $20 to thousands of dollars. There are some premium jewelry brands that celebrities are the only ones who can afford!

So how has the Kabbalah bracelet become a fashion accessory for today’s Hollywood masses? Many would say that it all comes down to a lady named Madonna. She has been caught many times wearing her own Kabbalah bracelets and if the photos appear in gossip magazines, chances are they will catch on quickly. Madonna has even been seen wearing Kabbalah bracelets during her actual concerts. A sit-down interview with Larry King confirmed her faith as she openly discussed her belief in the Kabbalistic teachings.

The late Michael Jackson is believed to have also owned a handful of Kabbalah jewelry items in his extensive collection. When you look at the star power of just these two names, is it any wonder that the modern wave of celebrities is catching on? Sure enough, we’ve seen Paris Hilton and Britney Spears with the red bracelets on full display.

Wearing the sacred Kabbalah bracelet as a fashion accessory has received a mixed reception from dedicated Jewish followers. Some see it as demeaning a sacred symbol. Others are happy that the teachings of Kabbalah are receiving such overwhelming mainstream attention. Either way, it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more of these elegant red jewelry pieces in the years to come.
