Finding the Right bracelets for You

Today, antique and vintage bracelets are versatile and universally loved accessories that can add polish and pizzazz to any ensemble.

Bracelets were among the jewels discovered to have been buried with Pharaoh Tutankhamun when his tomb was unearthed in 1922, and wrist and arm bracelets were allegedly worn by Queen Puabi in Sumer, southern Mesopotamia. But preceding the adornments of Ancient Egypt and elsewhere, the people of prehistoric times likely wore the decorative accessory, fashioning it from shells and fish bones. When the Bronze Age allowed for more durable materials and semiprecious stones to be incorporated into jewelry, bracelets became a treasured symbol of wealth.

In the thousands of years following the debut of the world’s first bracelets, the artistry behind this common accessory has only broadened, with designers at popular jewelry houses growing more venturesome over time. David Webb looked to nature for his Animal Kingdom bracelets, and for her best-selling bracelets and more at Tiffany & Co., Elsa Peretti would frequently do the same. From bangles to tennis bracelets, the modern age offers plenty of options.

Internationally acclaimed bracelet designs have on occasion become powerful symbols of status, style and, in the case of Cartier's iconic design, love. The Cartier Love bracelet can be found on the wish list of most jewelry lovers and on the wrist of some of the world’s biggest stars. Its arrangement of mock screwheads and distinctive functionality — it was initially locked and unlocked with an accompanying vermeil screwdriver — is an enduring expression of loyalty, unity and romance. (Do you know how to spot a fake Cartier Love bracelet?)

While the Love bracelet has played a role in the skyrocketing popularity of cuff-style bracelets, they are far from the only glamorous option for collectors. Make a statement with an Art Deco design, a style that sees all kinds of iterations fitted with studded cuffs, one-of-a-kind shapes and dazzling insets. A chunky vintage gold bracelet in the Retro style will prove eye-catching and elevate any outfit.

One of the best things about bracelets, however, is that you never have to choose just one. Style icon Jacqueline Kennedy stacked her Croisillon bracelets — designed by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. — with such frequency that the ornate bangles were eventually dubbed “Jackie bracelets” by reporters. Contemporary silver pieces can easily complement each other, rendering a layering of luxury almost a necessity.

Find a diverse collection of bracelets that you can sort by style, stone cut and more on 1stDibs.

Questions About Etched Cuff Bracelet
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    The 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    How 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, 2023

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    The 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, 2023
    Any 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, 2023
    Cuff 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    There 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, 2023
    The 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Cuff 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Yes, 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, 2023
    Cuff 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, 2023
    How 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    How 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, 2023
    The 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, 2023
    The 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, 2023
    What 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, 2023
    What 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, 2023
    How 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.
