History of the Cuff Bracelet

Religion and artisan crafts have an interlocking history, with religion being a major influence behind jewelry-making worldwide. Cuff bracelets were prominent in Egyptian history, as well as Maya and Inca adornment in the Americas. Elegance and versatility align in the design of cuff bracelets – they are to be found in women's and men's jewelry alike. Cast of silver, tooled of leather, carved of wood or beaded, the cuff bracelet is an accessory of fashionable distinction. Crafted by hand in myriad designs, you are likely to find one to suit your style in Novica's gallery of cuff bracelets. Silver being such a malleable material affords designers endless possibilities. Artisan silversmiths can shape silver cuff bracelets as fish, frogs, and dragons. Or engrave florid patterns with sublime artistry. They may chose to repeat the cuff design in a silver choker, creating a set of elegant exuberance. Designs are vast and varied, such as a moonstone flower blossoming on a silver cuff, or an opal raindrop glistening with unique translucency. We invite you to explore! Novica recommends the best way to put on a cuff, is by slightly turning the wrist so the thumb is facing upwards, and gliding the bracelet at the narrowest part of the wrist. Then push to the desired position on the arm.
