More is More â?? With cuff bracelets, or bangles, itâ??s okay to pile them on.  Stack three right on top of each other for dramatic effect. This creates a strong look that is guaranteed to get you noticed.  Usually bulkiness is shied away from, but with cuffs, itâ??s all the rage.

 

Mix and Match â?? Wear cuffs with other pieces, such as slim wire bracelets or a signature cocktail ring on the opposite hand to balance your look. Try different colors, textures and styles to bring an eclectic mix to your outfit.

 

Angles Please â?? Geometric shaped cuffs in the shape of squares have once again found their way onto this seasonâ??s list of â??Doâ??sâ?. Wear a funky cuff in a bright neon color to give a new spin to a basic outfit. Lime green, bright pink and electric blue can work wonders for an all black ensemble.

 

All About Fabric â?? Though traditional cuffs look great in sterling silver or Lucite, ethnic bracelets use beautiful beads, soft suede and leather cord to achieve an authentic worldly look.  Play around with a variety of textures to complement a peasant blouse or basic t-shirt and jeans.

 

Big is Beautiful â?? Invest in some glam with a gorgeous oversize floral cuff. This is a great way to add interest and try the latest trend, without breaking the bank.

 

However you choose to wear them, cuffs can help you to achieve fashion greatness, one beautiful bangle at a time.

Think about the accessories that you choose not only as a reflection of your tastes, but as a sign of communicating who you are. What is important to remember to get the style of dress is best; silhouette, proportion, and size. The relationship between jewelry (accessories) and your clothes have to have a relationship of harmony and balance. However, do not let you wear earrings and necklace set, because you will look older than your actual age.

Genuine pearl has a more luxury factor, rather than diamonds.
