Finding the Right cuff-bracelets for You
There is no shortage of iconic bracelet designs out there: Cartier’s Love bracelet, the widely admired Panthère, the Croisillon bracelet crafted by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co., to name a few. And while you don’t necessarily need one of history’s most coveted versions of this accessory, you’re likely going to want at least a reliable collection of vintage cuff bracelets in your jewelry box.
Cuff bracelets are fashion staples. This stylish go-to — a rigid bracelet, open or outfitted with a clasp that snaps shut, understated and unadorned or enameled and flecked with gemstones — goes back thousands of years.
Cuffs were worn by Greek and Roman soldiers as they headed into battle as well as by the men and women of Ancient Egypt as statement-making jewelry. In ancient China, jade was considered the most precious of stones, and a jade cuff bracelet or bangle was associated with purity and goodness. Jewelers also employed jade, as well as coral and lapis lazuli, during the Art Deco period, finding inspiration in all kinds of influences and frequently working geometric motifs into their Art Deco cuff bracelets.
Today, people love how a bejeweled cuff bracelet elevates a simple jeans-and-T-shirt ensemble or that a minimalist one pairs with formal wear so well. Indeed, it’s a fine finishing touch whether you’re dining with friends in your neighborhood or pairing your silver or gold cuff with an elegant evening dress on the red carpet.
On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of vintage cuff bracelets today.
Questions About Antique Cuff Bracelets
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023The purpose of a cuff bracelet is to add interest to an outfit and to call attention to a person's wrist. Typically, a cuff is worn just above the wrist and can be stacked with other types of bracelets, like bangles and beaded bracelets. The tradition of wearing cuff bracelets can be traced back to ancient India and Pakistan. Explore a large collection of cuff bracelets on 1stDibs.
- How do cuff bracelets work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023How cuff bracelets work comes down to the gap between their two ends. To put one on, you place the gap over your wrist and then slide one end in place. Then, you can gently press the rest of the bracelet into position. Explore a wide range of cuff bracelets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023You can wear many things with a cuff bracelet. The versatility of cuffs is part of the reason why they have been worn for centuries. Today, people accessorize everything from jeans to elegant little black dresses with cuff bracelets. You can show off your cuff bracelet on its own or layer it with other bracelets, like bangles and beaded pieces. Get creative and see how many ways you can style your cuff. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of cuff bracelets.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023The difference between a cuff and a bracelet is specificity. A bracelet is any piece of jewelry that you wear on your wrist or anywhere between your wrist and your elbow. A cuff is a specific type of bracelet, usually worn right at the wrist. It is a piece of metal bent into a circular shape that has a gap between its ends. This design differs from the bangle bracelet, which is a complete circle that goes all the way around the wrist. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of bracelets.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Any bracelet that has an opening that you slide your wrist into is considered a cuff bracelet. Cuffs differ from bangles, which travel all the way around the wrist. And, unlike other types of bracelets, they do not have closures or fasteners. Explore a wide range of cuff bracelets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Cuff bracelets should typically be worn right above the wrist. Ideally, cuffs fit snugly and don't slide or shift the way that looser bangle bracelets do. With most pieces, you can gently squeeze the ends to adjust the fit. Shop a collection of cuff bracelets from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- Why wear cuff bracelets?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023There are many reasons why you should consider wearing cuff bracelets. For one thing, cuffs are highly versatile. They can add a touch of shine to casual outfits featuring shorts or jeans or complement a little black dress with equal ease. Also, cuffs give you a chance to experiment with stacking bracelets, as you can wear them with bangles, beaded bracelets and other pieces. Plus, cuff bracelets date back to ancient times, making them truly timeless. Shop a large collection of cuff bracelets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023The exact date when cuff bracelets came out is unknown. However, archaeologists have traced the bracelets back at least 7,000 years. The ancient Maya, Chinese, Greeks, Romans and Egyptians are all known to have worn cuff bracelets. These early bracelets featured materials like metal, leather and gemstones. Explore a large selection of cuff bracelets on 1stDibs.
- What are cuff bracelets called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Cuff bracelets are sometimes called cuffs. However, it is also correct to simply refer to them as cuff bracelets. The name cuff comes from the fact that you typically wear a cuff bracelet directly above your wrist, where the cuff of a shirt typically rests. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of cuff bracelets.
- Do cuff bracelets fall off?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Yes, cuff bracelets can fall off. Because the traditional cuff bracelet lacks a closure or clasp and just slides on and off, there is a risk that it could fall off and become lost. However, you can greatly lower the likelihood of this occurring by choosing a cuff that fits snugly and giving your bracelet a squeeze after you have positioned it on your wrist to tighten it. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of cuff bracelets.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Cuff bracelets were especially popular during the 1970s and have arguably remained so ever since. However, the history of the cuff bracelet can be traced back to ancient times. Anthropologists and archaeologists have found examples of cuff bracelets among artifacts gathered from the ancient Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Maya. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of cuff bracelets.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023How big a cuff bracelet should be depends on the size of your wrist. Generally, cuff bracelets should fit snugly just above the wrist for a secure fit, but not so tightly that they are difficult to get on and off or uncomfortable to wear. For the best sizing, measure your arm just above your wrist bone in millimeters and use the measurement as a guide when selecting cuffs by length. Widths for cuff bracelets also vary. The wider the bracelet, the bolder it typically looks. Wider cuffs also tend to be heavier, so consider your preferences and the occasion when comparing options. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of cuff bracelets.
- What do cuff bracelets mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A cuff bracelet does not have a clasp. It features an open space that slides onto the wrist. The meaning behind the cuff bracelet is often debated as it did carry the name “slave” bracelet for some time, and was used on African and Caribbean slaves. It has also been used to signify love in India. Today, there is no additional meaning—a cuff bracelet is a fashionable piece of jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a collection of cuff bracelets from some of the world’s top sellers.
- What is a cuff bangle bracelet?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A cuff bangle bracelet is a type of jewelry worn on the wrist. It is a cross between a continuous loop bracelet called a bangle and a bracelet with an open design called a cuff. Typically, a cuff bangle features either a hinged closure that allows it to come on and off easily like a cuff or has an open end connected by a chain so that it covers the entire wrist like a bangle. Shop a wide variety of bracelets on 1stDibs.
- How do cuff bracelets stay on?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023How cuff bracelets stay on comes down to their design. When you choose a cuff that is ideally sized for your wrist, its opening will generally not be large enough for the cuff to slide off. You can help keep a cuff secure by gently squeezing it after you get it into position. Doing so will narrow the gap and help to hold the cuff in place. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of cuff bracelets.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023The difference between a cuff bracelet and a bangle lies in the design of the jewelry. A bangle bracelet goes all the way around the wrist and either slips on or has a hinged closure that allows it to open and close. A cuff bracelet has a gap and no closure. To put a cuff bracelet on, you slip one end over the wrist and gently push it into place. Shop a large collection of bracelets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023The best gauge for cuff bracelets is 22 or higher, according to experts. At this thickness, metal has enough strength and rigidity to hold the C-shape of a cuff. Thinner metal may bend with frequent wear. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of cuff bracelets from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023What a leather cuff bracelet means is a matter of personal interpretation. Many people equate leather with prestige and wealth, so a cuff wrapped in the material may be a status symbol. Cuff bracelets have a long global history, dating back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, as symbols of status and protection. On 1stDibs, shop a range of leather cuff bracelets.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023What a cuff bangle bracelet means is open to interpretation. A cuff bangle bracelet is a specific type of bracelet that blends elements of classic cuff bracelets with those of bangles. Cuff bracelets were symbols of protection in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, including as part of armor. Cuff bracelets have also been symbols of power and prestige, with Coco Chanel bringing this historic style into modern fashion in the 1930s with her signature silver and enamel bracelets. Shop a large assortment of bracelets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023How a man should wear a cuff bracelet is largely a matter of personal choice. Usually, a cuff bracelet goes right above the wrist, but the rules end there. Men can wear them on either wrist or both wrists. They can show them off alone, position a watch above one or layer them with other bracelets to create stacked looks. Feel free to get creative and experiment with different ways to sport your cuff bracelet. Find a wide range of cuff bracelets on 1stDibs.
