Im working in a rigging in Maya 2011. bind it with with Interactive Skin Bind.

The character move well but i have part of my character like the bracelets that are hard surface and i don't want to blend them.

Just apint the skin weights 100% to a particular joint and it will be rigid. You may want some slight stretching of the braclets as the arm may lose or gain volume, and make the bracelets look strange.
