Buy The Best Cuff Bracelet Collectibles

By Marylou Forbes


The wearing of cuffs can be traced back for centuries. Mayan kings wore large, gold solid bands on their wrists and in paintings, Egyptian pharaohs are also seen wearing bands on their wrists. These accessories have been worn by fashion icons for centuries and are currently experiencing a revival, appearing on the arms of celebrities and runway models. Cuff bracelet collectibles are available at many online stores, offering the convenience of comparing many items and their prices.

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.

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, there are designs to suit every taste. One featuring semi-precious stones and natural materials will help to channel a tribal look. A studded band with a skull accent is perfect for tough-chic appeal. A geometric band with electric colors looks good with a block-colored mini-dress.

Solid gold and silver bands will always be popular as they offer simplicity and elegance. However, many bands today feature open work, adding a delicacy and lightness to pieces. Intricately carved honeycomb shapes, silver-dipped floral lace and textured metal frames resembling lace are some examples.

When purchasing cuffs it is important to consider other factors besides just the appearance. The fit is just as important and one must consider the width and the weight. Well fitting cuffs should slide down to rest against the turn of the hand at the bottom of the wrist joint, with just a little bit of looseness for comfort. Those that are too tight are painful to wear.

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.
