Putting cuff bracelets can add flavour to an otherwise dull or incomplete getup. Not only does it accentuate the arm, but it also gives you the chance to make a statement. 

There are various cuff bracelets to choose from—when you want to make a bold statement, a wide and carefully designed cuff can be perfect as it draws attention without overwhelming your overall look. Slim and minimalist cuffs can add a touch of sophistication if you prefer, showing just a hint of elegance.

There are cuff bracelets that are better worn alone. These types of bracelets can make you stand out without overpowering your look. For example, the Jewelmer Pearl of Hope bracelet can be enough for those who want to make a statement. It features a braided leather cord with an attention-grabbing South Sea pearl and 19-carat gold accents.

Be mindful of your skin tone when choosing accessories. Two of the most common skin undertones are cool and warm. These clues may help you determine which one you have:

People with warm skin tones typically have:

  • Green-coloured veins
  • Brown, green, or hazel eyes
  • Brown, red, or black hair

Meanwhile, people who have cool skin tones possess the following appearances: 

  • Blue- or purple-coloured veins
  • Blue or green eyes
  • Brown or black hair

If you can't tell whether or not your veins are green or blue, you probably have a neutral skin tone.
