Gold Cuff Bracelets

Classic, versatile, and back in a big way: yellow gold seems to be the defining jewelry trend of the 2020s. While rose gold is still beloved by many, yellow gold is back at the forefront for rings, necklaces, earrings, chains and, yes, bracelets! The gold cuff bracelet, with its bold and chunky design, is perhaps the best way to jump on the yellow gold trend. 


A true statement piece, the gold cuff bracelet has been around for at least 7,000 years, with archaeologists finding gold bracelets in the ruins of ancient Roman, Greek and Egyptian civilizations. Even more interestingly, they found that these bracelets belonged to women of high status. Powerful women have been making a statement with these daring bracelets for a long, long time.





Continue this tradition and embrace your feminine power with a gold cuff bracelet of your own. Despite their simple-sounding design, gold cuff bracelets actually come in a wide variety of styles. Some of the most popular cuff bracelet styles include the bone cuff, which contours to the wrist, the closed cuff bracelet (a closed circle that you slip over your wrist), and the wrap cuff, which features multiple bands of gold stacked atop one another. 

 

Gold Chain Bracelets

These days, we’re all wearing chains around our necks. Whether it’s a men’s Cuban link chain or a dainty women’s paperclip chain necklace, the gold chain is undeniably back at the forefront of fashion. So, it only makes sense that the gold chain bracelet is trending, too. 


Like the gold cuff bracelet, the gold chain bracelet has a long history. Chains are perhaps the most straightforward style of jewelry, so it’s no surprise that they’ve been worn around the necks, wrists and ankles of people across the world for many centuries. With minimalist styles trending, both men and women have begun embracing the gold chain bracelet once more.


You may not think there’s much room for variety with a gold chain link bracelet, but you’d be wrong. Jewelry designers create new, innovative chain link bracelet styles every day. From the shape of the links to the thickness of the links to the number of rows in the chain, gold chain bracelets come in a stunning range of designs. Regardless of which one you choose, it’s an eye-catching piece that will quickly become a staple. 

Gold Charm Bracelets

In addition to the surging popularity of yellow gold, today’s jewelry trends are rather nostalgic. You probably remember charm bracelets from your childhood. These bracelets allow you to collect charms and customize your look. As an adult, you still appreciate that chance to express yourself, but you’d like something more elevated than your childhood charm bracelet.That’s where the gold charm bracelet comes in. 


Charms come in all shapes, sizes, styles and price points. You can find intricately carved charms, gem-studded charms, and pendant charms that look like miniature versions of pets, favorite places, your initials and more. Collect charms, mix them and match them to communicate different messages or commemorate special occasions. Plus, they’re a fun excuse to go jewelry shopping whenever you’d like, because you could always use another charm, right? 


The fun of a charm bracelet is that you can add to it for a lifetime. With such a huge selection of charms out there, you’ll never run out of fun new ways to express yourself. 

 

Pearl Bracelets

If yellow gold is the top trend of the 2020s, pearls are a close second. If you keep an eye on celebrity fashions, you know that pearls are a red carpet staple right now. Both men and women have adopted pearl jewelry as a style statement lately, and pearl bracelets are the perfect entry point into this exciting trend. 

 


Of course, it’s not as if pearls ever went out of fashion–and they never will. These gems cemented their status centuries ago. They feature in one of history’s most famous paintings, and are closely associated with some of history’s top style icons. Picture pearls and you’ll picture Coco Chanel, Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn. It’s an elegant lineage, and one you can join with a pearl bracelet of your own. 


Only pearls could manage to be classic and cutting-edge at the same time. Depending on how you style them, they can add edgy, bold vibes to a casual look or a graceful touch to your fanciest ‘fits. A pearl bracelet on its own makes a statement. Pair it with more pearl jewelry for a beautifully coordinated ensemble. 


If you’re into the idea of a pearl bracelet but not in love with the traditional white color, you’re in luck. Black pearls are a fantastic option for someone who’d like pearls, but with a bit more edge. Similar to their lighter-colored cousins, black pearls are one of the most versatile pieces you can add to your collection. There’s no doubt about it: pearls are a great investment, and will soon occupy a special spot in your jewelry box. 

 

Stretchy Bracelets

This is a big category that encompasses a number of bracelet styles and designs. Any bracelet that you stretch to put on can be considered a stretchy bracelet. Elastic was once uncommon in bracelets, with jewelry designers instead opting for hooks and clasps to keep bracelets on wrists. But the appeal of a stretchy bracelet is undeniable–it’s an effortless, no-struggle way to accessorize. 


Stretchy bracelets can be minimalist or maximalist, simple or luxurious. Popular styles include stretch link bracelets with chunky links, charm bracelets or bead bracelets made with gold, precious or semi-precious stones. Even diamond tennis bracelets come in stretchy form these days.



In a fast-paced world, we appreciate clothes and accessories we can simply throw on. For quick, flawless looks, a stretchy bracelet is a brilliant piece to add to your jewelry collection. Just remember that, as with any jewelry that uses threads, strings or thin chains, your bracelet will need upkeep to ensure that it doesn’t fray or break. Bring it to your jewelry occasionally for inspection and any necessary fixes.
