The answer

The basic ruling regarding bracelets is that wearing them for adornment is permissible, unless there is evidence that prohibits them. It is forbidden to wear them if they are for warding off the evil eye or illness, or for bringing good luck, or if they are characteristic of disbelievers and their symbols, even if the wearer does not intend to imitate them. However, if they are solely for adornment and do not resemble the characteristics of disbelievers, then they are permissible.
