This may sound silly, but what is an Elephant Hair Bracelet? Is it a
pattern, or is the name because it is made from elephant hair?
Karen,
The original “elephant hair” bracelets were made from elephant hair,
thus the name. The design has been copied and made with all types of
wire, silver, gold, etc. It consists of a single length of wire, or
elephant hair, that encircles the wrist a number of times, with each
end of the wire, or hair, wrapping around the wires that encirlcle
the wrist. It can be opened or closed by moving the wrapped ends
closer together or further apart. Here is a link to a photo:
