As you may have noticed from my previous posts, I really, really like cuff bracelets.

This Christmas I debated, “New computer or 3 cuff bracelets… new computer or 3 cuff bracelets…”

I finally settled on a new yellow laptop and 1 cuff bracelet. My, my my - where do I get the willpower?

Cuffs are just sophisticated. To me they’re on a different level of style than other types of wrist-ware. In fact, the next time you’re looking for a gift for your gal-pal, get her a cuff.

My latest cuffs of desire come from Greenbelts.

Greenbelts are made from recycled leather belts, and other previously used decorative embellishments like buttons, buckles, and so on - which appeals to the treehugger in me. Plus, most of the pieces are under $25 - which appeals to my inner part-time spendthrift.

I am the queen of cuff bracelets. Bakelite, plastic, ceramic, silver, gold, whateva.

I wear cuffs like Karl Lagerfeld wears sunglasses and those ‘Lagerfeld-and-Kanye-West-only’ fingerless gloves.

Cuffs are exceptionally high on my jewelry list because very few Betty’s wear them. I like being the belle of the ball - even when I’m at the flea market haggling over a velvet Dogs Playing Poker painting. But that’s just me!

Australian independent design house Dolly Rockers has some tres adorable cuff bracelets.

Very young and fresh, with a definite Japanese street style appeal. Yummy!

In The IndieLust.com dictionary, cuff bracelets are synonymous with ‘you’re one hot chica.’

They have a kind of tough Betty, rock star sex appeal that regular bracelets simply cannot touch.

But you have to choose well. Cuffs are statement pieces - not jewelry afterthoughts.

One of my favorite cuff designers is Caserta Luxury Leathers. They make their cuffs by hand using fine leathers, Italian hardware, Swarovski crystals, and a generous dose of haute originality. Best of all, they’re cuffs come in small (7 inches), medium (7.5 inches), and large (8 inches).
