The answer

It is forbidden for men to wear bracelets, but it is permissible to wear silver rings. Your promise not to remove the bracelet is not permissible to fulfill, as it is a promise to commit a forbidden act. If the gift was given for honor and affection, it is not permissible to revoke it. However, if it was given for a specific purpose, such as the continuation of her companionship, then she has the right to revoke it if her intention is not achieved. If the girl does not demand it back, you are not obliged to return it. You can give it to a woman, sell it, convert it into rings for men, or suitable ornaments for women.
