Facebook Inspired Relationship Status Band Bracelets

Posted: 03 Jun 2011 04:32 AM PDT

Like it or not, social media is increasingly influencing many parts of our lives.... including jewelry. Just as you declare your relationship status on Facebook, Buump band bracelets now let you signal your availability or unavailability for everyone to see.

The unisex color coded bands carry messages which not only state the wearer's current relationship status but what his or her expectations are. They can be worn singly but wearing more than one is when the fun starts.

The color combination of green (single) and purple (looking for dating) bands is pretty straight forward to understand. But there are other imaginative groupings according to Buump's color code system. For instance wearing red (married), blue (it's complicated) and grey (looking for fun) bands means you're in a mid-life crisis! Delightful! What would YOU wear?

These status bands reminds me of the color code system the Zulus use in their bead work for courtship purposes. Check this past post, The Romance of Zulu Beads.
