Shackle bracelets have become popular as a fashion accessory, as well as for their symbolism. For some, the shackle represents strength and security, while for others it may symbolize freedom and liberation. In any case, shackle bracelets can be a unique and eye-catching addition to a personal style. 

We have two types of Break Time shackle bracelets. Most popular ones are made of sailing rope and feature a closing resembling a yacht shackle.

The second type of shackle bracelets that we create here at Break Time are made entirely our of tiny shackles, linked together to form an original designed chain. Different nautical-inspired titanium charms can be attached to the Ocean shackle bracelets.
