Cuff bracelets have been around forever, and they bounce in and out of fashion often.
This time around they’re skinnier than ever and often worn open side up with gems or other end-cap embellishments.
They look great stacked and can be worn with bangles, plain cuffs and beads, too. The “arm party” trend is not fading, and these skinny minnies are freshening up the look well.
Click through this slideshow to see skinny cuffs from seven different designers ranging in price from $550 to $7,480 retail.
