Accessories add style to the ensemble. Pair your cocktail dress, your tops and shirts with cut-out style cuffs that add flair to minimalistic, geometric silhouettes.

British jeweler Theo Fennell draws upon British sense of humour for his playful cuffs. His Cadogan Square cuff-bangle features hand-painted enamelled street sign and pet dogs affixed to the gold railings. Want to personalise it? This sure can be done, as bespoke commissions ensure that any place and street in the world, along with street signs and your own pet can adorn your cuff.

Cuffs from Collection I and II by Charlotte Dauphin de la Rochefoucauld for her label, Dauphin, are minimalistic and organic. “The rose gold cuff is conceived as an extension of the body itself, of the natural curves of a woman’s body,” says Charlotte, who explores the playful arrangement of positive and negative spaces. Another interesting piece by Charlotte is a layered cuff that reflects the concept of time and its visual representations.

Other cut-out styles cuffs include Fabergé’s stunning Emotion Gypsy Ruby Bangle, Gemfields' lovely Zambian emerald bracelet by Hoorsenbuhs, the new Silene cuff from AW Mouzannar and Zaha Hadid, the celestial Astraeus cuff inspired by Asteria – the Greek god of stars by Star Diamonds, the electro-chic blue topaz Memphis collection wiggly cuff by Sabine G, the elegant gold Vasilisa cuff by Annoushka Ducas, featuring grain motifs, designed as a tribute to her grandfather who was a Russian grain trader and the interesting Chakra series by Arlene Bonnant for her label Caspita.
