I'm looking for a good quality, stylish bracelet. There are many bracelets on the Internet, but I didn't find one that I like.
Also, if you have one, is is true that it helps eliminating pain??

There is nothing inherently "magical", or "mystical" about magnets. Magnets do not have a "mysterious energy force." For a magnet to stick to a piece of steel takes exactly zero energy. It is just the same as the fact that gravity attracts objects to the surface of the earth.
A few years back, the wife of a friend of mine was diagnosed with operable stage 3 cancer. Instead of going in for surgery and chemo, she was "sold" on the idea of exclusively using "magnetic therapy", even after the cancer had gone to stage 4 and was extremely painful. She died about two months after she was diagnosed. Nowadays, If you mention "magnetic bracelets" around this friend of mine, he is likely to reach for his shotgun.
Stay away from such greed-motivated snake oil, and quackery. Leave medicine to real doctors and scientists.

Pain and swelling reduction yes to bad you didn't mention what part of the body you were having trouble with, I could have given you more information. Our bodies have a magnetic force, when you get an injury that force is cut in half. So reenforcing it through magnetic bracelets it speeds up the healing process, get the drift.

Magnets have exactly zero effect upon the human body. That's why an MRI machine (which uses magnetic fields millions of times stronger than those stupid bracelets) can be used safely without causing your blood to boil or your muscles to explode!
Save your money for effective therapies, not useless nonsense.

Yes, they may help in BP, arthritis pain etc. but I am not sure of stylish ones. Probably you can get some tiny magnets and put them in bracelets of your choice.

Take a diner folk and bend it around your wrist. It has the same effects.
