Cuff Bracelet Collectibles For Purchase

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.

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.

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.

Many different materials are used for creating these accessories, including precious and semi-precious metals. Natural materials like leather and wood are also being used today with great effect. Gold and silver always offer an elegance and simple beauty. Materials are also combined, such as those of metal and wood. Many different stones are also used.

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 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.

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.

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.
