Should a cuff bracelet be tight or loose?

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.

Cuff bracelets are fashion staples. This stylish go-to — a rigid bracelet, open or outfitted with a clasp that snaps shut, understated and unadorned or enameled and flecked with gemstones — goes back thousands of years.

Cuffs were worn by Greek and Roman soldiers as they headed into battle as well as by the men and women of Ancient Egypt as statement-making jewelry. In ancient China, jade was considered the most precious of stones, and a jade cuff bracelet or bangle was associated with purity and goodness. Jewelers also employed jade, as well as coral and lapis lazuli, during the Art Deco period, finding inspiration in all kinds of influences and frequently working geometric motifs into their Art Deco cuff bracelets.

Today, people love how a bejeweled cuff bracelet elevates a simple jeans-and-T-shirt ensemble or that a minimalist one pairs with formal wear so well. Indeed, it’s a fine finishing touch whether you’re dining with friends in your neighborhood or pairing your silver or gold cuff with an elegant evening dress on the red carpet.
