The Cuff Bracelet
Cuff bracelets have been worn for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations. The Egyptians crafted elaborate gold cuffs adorned with gemstones and religious symbols, often worn as a sign of status and protection. In Greece and Rome, cuffs were not only decorative but also functional, with warriors wearing them as part of their armor and the elite using them to display wealth. The Celts, known for their intricate metalwork, created torc-like cuffs that signified nobility and power. These early uses established the cuff bracelet as both a decorative and symbolic piece of jewelry.
