Cuffs – a classic bracelet coming back in style

The cuff can be traced all the way back to the classical era. Among Greek and Egyptian remains archaeologists have found, for instance, beautifully decorated gold bracelets dated to several hundred years BC. Uses of the cuff ranged from status symbols to protective talismans. The cuff is called a classic for a reason.

The bolder version of a cuff bracelet is sometimes associated with a hero's protective armour, not least thanks to a certain popular cartoon character and feminist symbol – Wonder Woman. Therefore, there’s no wonder that it has become a popular statement piece among both women in history as well as today's modern power women. In the early 20th century, with a peak into the roaring twenties, the cuff bracelet was the favoured piece of jewellery among international fashion designers. The next time the bracelet had a boom was in the 70s. Back then it was often seen on the wrists of Jackie O while also adorning the celebrities on the dancefloor of Studio 54. Now we see the cuff coming back as a favourite again, 50 years later.
