I`m giving this my best guess,But I think the term "slave bracelet'' means a chain or thick metal band bracelet,worn around the wrist.As slaves,prisoners,captives,etc, were bound by the wrists with chains dating from ancient times.Pherhaps when a slave escaped,He/She broke the bindings that restricted their movement.but the chains around the wrist stayed on them.For example,You were a slave in Roman times,your master had manacles put on you,so you could do your job,but not much else,you broke the chain that connects the cuffs together,or tethered you to another object,but could not get the cuffs themselves off.That would be a slave bracelet.Your question was interesting enough to make me do a bit of research into this!

Slave bracelet may refer to:

  • A copper bracelet used as a medium of exchange in the West African slave trade, see Manillas.
  • Any bracelet made of chain links.
  • A wrist bracelet joined to a ring by a chain.
  • A bracelet worn by a slave (this meaning comes from BDSM fiction, e.g. John Norman's Gor series of novels; in this context it may be a colloquial term for handcuffs).

Other terms for slave bracelets include: handflower.

An example of a slave bracelet is: Slave bracelet (Image courtesy of: Decarabia)

Slave bracelets are a piece of jewellery understood to be associated with several cultures and are also worn as belly dancing or harem jewellery. They are a favoured piece of jewellery by the Gothic subculture and are worn by some BDSM lifestyle couples as a symbol of ownership between Master (BDSM) and Slave (BDSM).

Is it all right for a Christian to wear a slave bracelet?

Why wouldn't it be? Being a slave is not a requirement to wearing a slave bracelet. Additionally as slavery is outlawed most anywhere I don't think anyone would be tempted to think you are actually a slave to someone. If however you are wanting to wear it as a BDSM style, then my only recommendation to you as a christian wearing one, would be to follow the same procedures you would follow before having sexual activities with anyone. Be married to them first if you want to stay biblical, however you will find no where in the bible where it condemns BDSM except in the practice of it not being contained within a relationship of two consenting married people. Personally I say, if you want to wear one, find one you like and wear it, no different than wearing a bracelet of any other sort.
