Grammy Red Carpet Accessory: Cuff Bracelets

They were fierce, they were fabulous, and they were totally of-the-moment. Nope, I’m not talking about all the dresses as last night’s 51st Grammy Awards (although someone should talk to M.I.A.’s stylist for sure), but rather the bold accessory that many stars sported while walking the red carpet – a cuff bracelet.

Statement jewelry is definitely in this season – especially big cuffs, large earrings, and glamorous brooches. Celebs like Taylor Swift and Sheryl Crow (both in Lorriane Schwartz cuffs), and The Hills’ Audrina Patridge stepped out in bold cuff bracelets that ran the gamut from traditional elegance to modern chic. Not sure which style fits your bridal aesthetic? Here’s some quick tips:

Traditional Brides: Stick to diamonds, pearls, or brilliant gems like sapphires or emeralds. This AZAARA antique finish cuff with crystals from Fragments ($300) is the perfect accessory for a simple, strapless mermaid or ball gown.

Romantic Brides: Delicate embellishments with a vintage feel is always a great starting point. I absolutely love the retro 40’s–meets-Morrocan style of this Ben Amun gold disc link bracelet from Intermix ($375).

Modern Brides: Pick non-traditional stones and colors that pop. Turquoise is everywhere this season, making this turquoise sequin beaded flower stretch bracelet from Nordstrom ($98) the perfect fit for a simple, minimalist style.
