Cuff bracelets in faux leather, metal and steel

A cuff stays open. It slides onto the wrist from the side rather than fastening, then springs back into shape. Three materials run through this selection: two-tone faux leather, cut-out metal and gold-toned steel.

The finishes are gold or silver, and sometimes both on the same bracelet. The tree of life turns up on a good number of the faux leather bands, alongside geometric shapes, curves and musical notes.

Metal, faux leather or steel: what a cuff bracelet is made of

The material decides almost everything about these cuff bracelets, from how they catch the light to how loudly they read on the wrist. Cut-out metal keeps the wrist visible through the gaps. Faux leather covers it with a solid band and is where any applied motif sits. Steel falls between the two, with a warmer gold tone and a boho look.

None of these has an adjustable clasp, which is why the material and the width matter more than any other detail. If you want to compare them with the rest of the range, the full bracelets category lines every style up side by side.

Reading the pattern before the colour

The tree of life motif recurs across the faux leather models, applied in a gold or silver tone at the centre of the band. Geometric cut-outs, curves and musical notes make up the more graphic pieces. One reversible cuff carries a gold tone on one side and a silver tone on the other. If you would rather have no pattern at all, the rigid ones that slide over the hand are the better answer.

How the two-tone pairings work

Most pairings set one strong colour against a quieter one: camel with navy, white with navy, mustard with aqua green, burgundy with black. The glittery side of the band works as the accent rather than the whole bracelet, and that is what keeps them wearable in daylight.

Slim or wide on the wrist

Slim cuffs sit close to a bangle and take a watch beside them. Wide ones cover a good part of the wrist and do the job alone. Most of the pieces here are described as neither, because they fall in between. Volume can also come from wrapping rather than width, which is the territory of the double-wrap styles. Check the stated width on the product page before ordering.
