  • 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 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.

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 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 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 ExpertNovember 21, 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 6, 2023

    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 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.

Once you have the measurement, compare the figure to the interior circumference of cuff bracelets, choosing pieces that are just slightly larger than your wrist.

    Generally, a cuff bracelet should be tight rather than loose. Since a cuff bracelet doesn't have a clasp or closure, it can slip off or shift if it fits too loosely. At the same time, an overly tight cuff can be uncomfortable. Measuring your wrist and comparing the size to the inner circumference of cuffs can help you select a piece that will fit you securely and comfortably. Shop a wide variety of cuff bracelets on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
