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.

These accessories are an important asset in the wardrobe of any woman. They offer an uncomplicated way of transforming a simple outfit and pulling a whole look together. This can be done in one easy step, rather than fussing with trying to combine many items of jewelry to create a look. Cuffs are so eye-catching that it is better to pare down any other jewelry when wearing one. They also look best when worn with clothing that does not distract from the impact by being too busy.

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.

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 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.

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.
