fashion updateThese styles will hold their own against the heavier fabrics that are needed to keep you warm. Here are some of top tips for choosing the right bracelets to compliment your cool weather look:

Keep it simple – Chunky bracelets don’t necessarily need to be embellished and heavily adorned. In fact, some of the hottest styles are those where simplicity reigns supreme. For example, try bracelets with classic shapes and supersized features. A yellow gold bangle in chunky chain link or shiny metal adds just the right amount of flair to an outfit.

Add some color – Colored enamel bracelets are flying off the racks this year. With yummy colors to brighten up your gear, you can wear these bracelets to work or for play. Look for pieces that use one solid color like cobalt blue or turquoise, or ones that have geometric blocks of color. Wear with contrasting fabrics like orange or red for a unique style statement.

It’s all in the details – Cuff bracelets don’t have to be over the top to make maximum impact. Maybe there is some great finish or a special handcrafted detail that makes it special. Try bracelets that are made from hammered metal, have a muted finish or are engraved with a fun design. These pieces are versatile enough to go with many pieces in your closet, so you can be sure you’ll get your wear out of them.

The ease with which it can be worked, due to its malleability, and the fact that it does not tarnish, rust or corrode made it perfect for jewellery making, remaining a jewellery staple for millennia.
