Arm jewelry from the Merovingian period is characterized by the passing and the continuance of late Roman forms. The latter tendency includes iron bracelets and bracelets with flaring ends; these two types, however, did not reach their great flowering until the early Middle Ages. Bracelets with flaring ends were particularly popular during the Merovingian period: they constitute almost half of the rings which we have from the time. This form also displays a chronological sequence of development from gold to silver to bronze.
