Cuff Bracelet Collectibles For Sale

By Marylou Forbes


Men and women in ancient Egypt, Greece and Africa wore cuffs on their wrists long before fashion icons adopted them as part of their signature styles. They have had surges of popularity over the years and are currently on trend, appearing on catwalks and the wrists of celebrities. Beautiful cuff bracelet collectibles can be purchased from many online sources today.

One of the benefits of these accessories is that they really make a statement. Such an accessory can help to pull a whole look together, taking away the stress of trying to layer, mix and match items of jewelry. Adding one statement piece - bejewelled, studded or sleek - to an outfit makes it instantly eye-catching. This one piece is enough and neither the clothing worn nor the other jewelry should take away from its effect.

Cuffs are also incredibly versatile. Ones can be purchased to wear with just about any kind of outfit, during the day or at night and in every season of the year. A classic hammered and dipped gold band can help accent a smart office suit or be worn in the evening with a little, black dress. A burnished effect silver-plated pewter band with multi-colored faceted crystals works well during the day or in the evening.

All kinds of materials, both natural and synthetic are used to make cuffs. Precious metals like gold and silver, semi-precious metals and natural ones like leather and wood are all used. Materials are often combined too, like those using a combination of metal and wood or silver and gold.

When purchasing cuffs, you should choose designs that compliment your particular style. If you love wearing romantic details like lace on your outfits, then an ornate design is best. If you prefer a modern look with clean lines and bold colors, accessorizing with a more architectural design is better. If your style is more tough-chic, you can opt for black leather and studs. Ethnic appeal is channeled with natural materials and semi-precious stones.

Solid gold and silver have always been firm favorites. However, there are many designs today that feature intricate, open work designs. These bands are lighter and more delicate. They go perfectly with pretty, vintage dresses and smaller individuals often prefer to wear an item that is not too heavy or overwhelming for their small size.

It is important for cuffs to fit properly so they are comfortable to wear all day. They should rest just above the wrist bone and be just a little bit on the loose side. You need to pay attention to the width and the weight as well. If you have long arms, then you can carry off a wide cuff. However, if you have short arms, a narrow width will be much more flattering.

Every woman should have some cuff bracelets in her wardrobe as nothing adds more dynamic flare to a wrist. A pair of jeans and a shirt can be given instant elegance. An office outfit can be changed from boring to chic. Evening wear can be given glamor. From large ones covered with bling to smaller ones adorned with interesting accents, there are items to suit every possible taste and style.
