Cuff Bracelet Collectibles For Purchase

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.

A single piece of jewelry of this nature can instantly turn an outfit from boring to glamorous. Instead of having to combine various different pieces of jewelry, a statement piece says it all. If this one piece is chosen as a statement, then any other jewelry worn with it needs to be minimal so as not to spoil the effect. Big accessories are also best worn with simple clothing.

The versatility of these accessories is one of their biggest advantages. They can be worn during the day to add interest to an office outfit or used at night to glamorize an evening dress. They can be worn on just about any occasion and in any season.

Natural and man-made materials are used to make these accessories. Natural materials are usually used to create a more ethnic or tribal look. Leather can be used to create more edgy items, particularly when decorated with studs or spikes. Metals like gold, silver and pewter may be used alone or combined with many types of gems.

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 bands have always been popular but the latest trends reveal many delicate looking, open work designs too. These are lighter than the solid bands and have intricate details which provide interest. For example, a silver floral lace pattern shows exquisite detail and looks wonderful with the vintage styles so popular today.

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.

Buying some statement accessories like this gives you some easy options when pulling together a look. You can transform day wear into evening wear simply and effectively. You can change a simple outfit into one with glamor in one easy step. The vast selection of designs means that you will be able to find items that suit your personality and add flare to your wardrobe.
