Cuff Your Wrist in Style

Posted on 13 January 2010 by Angelique

It isn’t just rings that go big this season, it’s bracelets too. It only makes sense that heavier clothing works better with heavier jewelry this winter. Cuff bracelets are accessorizing outfits everywhere, and lucky for us they exist in every possible price range.

Here’s proof that “substantial” doesn’t mean unfeminine. The Isharya 18-karat gold plated filigree cuff with cubic zirconia and freshwater pearls is a lovely filigree bracelet that can hold its own with the dressiest winter outfits you can put together. You’ll probably want to minimize other jewelry when you wear a piece this fabulous.

Another “statement” cuff is this hammered brass one by Subversive. It features a cluster of vintage charms and is adjustable to fit perfectly. Made from brass, faux pearls, vintage charms, and a vintage brooch, it measures 3.5 inches wide.

For the girl who likes the unexpected, here’s a slightly retro metal cuff that’s semi-adjustable. From Forever 21, it has a curvy, hourglass shape, and is dotted with a stippled design. It measures 3.75 inches in width and 6.25 inches in length and is available in silver or gold finish.

Another bold, feminine look is this wide black leather cuff with rhinestones from Lori’s Shoes. It’s seriously crusted in rhinestones so that it catches the light and sparkles. But it’s paired with no-nonsense black leather, giving it gravitas and proving you’re a grown-up. Glamorous, but edgy, it’s a great inexpensive splurge or a great Valentine’s Day gift.
