In my personal opinion, cuff bracelets are so much more fashionable and enjoyable than bangles will ever be. Cuffs stay put on your wrist, add punch to any ensemble, and carry a certain strength inherent in their design. In celebration of fantastic cuffs I've highlighted those currently available at Bergdorf Goodman. From simple and sleek to colorful and creative each cuff brings a unique sense of style to the wearer. Designers such as
Joan Hornig, Jose & Maria Barrera, Kenneth Jay Lane and Matthew Campbell offer the current coveted cuffs at BG's. Explore the gallery to see more!
(The cuff shown above is designed by Matthew Campbell made of rhodium-plated silver with blue enamel accented with round-cut blue sapphire stones and center citrine stone for $1,800).
We've been a fan of Joan Hornig's cause-centric jewelry for a while. She uses what she calls the Philanthropy is Beautiful model which means that 100% of the profits on each piece go to charity. Her latest pieces for Help for Haiti will be donated to the Haitian relief charity of the purchaser's choice in his/her honor. The Joan B. Hornig Foundation lets the buyers determine where the money goes and which nonprofits receive funds. Hornig chose the symbolism of a wrench for the Haiti initiative, the wrench has a dual meaning, representing the heartwrenching situation in the earthquake-ravaged nation and the tools needed to repair and rebuild. The sterling silver 'working together' necklace features both an open and a closed wrench on a 24-inch sterling silver chain. It sells for $65.
