Cuff bracelets are my life.. OK maybe not my life’s goal or purpose… however I do adore designing and wearing cuff bracelets.
Over the years I have designed using copper, brass and sterling. There are virtually hundreds of ways to create.. and they are all energizing and fun for me.
Do YOU love cuffs too?
Have you struggled with placing them on your wrist without fear of either cracking or breaking them?
Well first of all, the cuffs I create are very strong, so no worries there. Yet there is a trick to getting it on your wrist easily.
We have two major wrist bones. The Ulna and the Radius. If your hand is PALM UP as shown in this image, the ULNA is closest to your body.
The Ulna is the thinner bone, so we want to slide the cuff on from the inside. (palm up). The cuff will then easily slide onto your wrist. Voila, you have done it. Show it off to everyone that day. At the end of the day you can remove the cuff from the same side (Ulna palm up).
Most importantly your cuff is made to last for years.. perhaps even into the next generation of jewelry lovers in your family. Enjoy.

Your cuff bracelets are lovely, Alene! When I was ill and much thinner, I bought several beautiful cuff bracelets when I was in Arizona. One is an antique, Navaho-made bracelet with a gorgeous turquoise stone in it. I find it uncomfortable now and am not sure how much it can be stretched to fit my wrist comfortably. I know metal is pliable, however, with such a large stone in mine, I may have to just admire it from an earlier place and time in my life. Thank you for the tips on how to place the bracelet on our wrist properly! I am going to try it, just in case.
Thanks Beverley. The larger stone could create some issues but there should be a little give towards the ends. Good luck. The cuff sounds gorgeous
Love your cuff bracelets. The photos of your jewelry are amazing. The first purchase for fall for everyone should be a new cuff bracelet! What a powerful statement for back to school, for work or just for fun!
Thanks a Candess. They are the perfect Fall accessory..or winter..or Spring..or Summer😊
Cuff bracelets might be my favorite accessory! I was not aware that some women had challenges putting cuffs on. I’ve never had an issue, perhaps because my wrists are so small.
I admit I’m not a fan of cuff bracelets primarily because I like my bracelets to be a little loose on my wrist. However, YOUR designs are making me think twice about it. I appreciate your guide on how to wear these special gems. That could have been part of my problem!
I’m not one for most bracelets as they tend to get in the way when I type. (What does that tell you about the amount of time I spend at the keyboard?) Great advice, BTW, on how to put them on.
I love copper jewelry and own a few cuff bracelets myself. I never thought of putting them on like you described. Great tip and I will keep that in mind next time I am putting one on.
Thanks for sharing the valuable points. Informative blog!!!
