Arm Candy Essentials: A Guide

The art of arm candy is really about how to style your everyday look with bracelets, bangles and cuffs. Whether you are a maximalist, minimalist or someone who doesn’t wear much jewelry, keep reading to see what approach to bracelets, bangles and cuffs might work for you.

The Maximalist Approach

Maximalists have no problem with adding more. The key is to keep things elegant while piling on your arm candy. When layering bracelets, be sure to include various sizes and different links. Taras is wearing our Double Link Bracelet Heavy / Silver, Double Link Bracelet Light / Silver, and Long Link Bracelet Silver, all of which are crafted from sterling silver, and our Double Link Bracelet in solid 22 karat gold.

The Minimalist Approach

Coined by Ludwig Mies van de Rohe in 1947, the phrase “less is more” remains an important tenet of a minimalist’s approach to style. Minimalists tend to wear one or two pieces at a time; however, a multiple of the same bangle or bracelet represents the minimalist approach well. That’s why we love the 22 karat gold Stoned Gold Bangles tipped with rubies, diamonds and turquoise.

The Bold Approach

A bold approach to arm candy means taking a bit of a risk. Someone who adopts this style is prepared to invest in timeless pieces that offer an immediate and impactful statement. Wrist and arm cuffs represent the bold approach well. They evoke confidence and personal power. Our favorite bold cuffs include the Tall Maze Cuff, the Short Maze Cuff and the Open Cage Cuff, all handcrafted from solid 22 karat gold.

The Newbie Approach

For jewelry novices who are ready to invest in bling beyond a watch and a ring, we suggest a slow and easy approach. Start your arm candy adventure in a simple but impactful way. Invest in a link bracelet. Think 22 karat gold Cable Link Bracelet 2 mm or 22 karat gold Cable Link Bracelet 1 mm. If you prefer silver, go for the Long Link Bracelet Silver crafted from solid sterling silver.
