Cleopatra wore them, and so does Jewel, Kate Winslet, Paris Hilton and Laura Linney. That celebrity star power is helping to put bangle and cuff bracelets atop the trends list.
Maggie Dosch, assistant manager at Dillard’s, said stacking bangle bracelets is a great way to spice up an outfit.
“It’s a fun piece of jewelry that lends itself to creativity,” she said.
Though bangles and cuffs are two distinct pieces of jewelry, they can be worn together, said Louis Brody of Brody Jewelers in Rossville.
“We have always had good sales with bangles, but in the last five years we’ve seen a huge increase in the popularity of cuff bracelets,” he said. “Cuffs are easier to put on and off than most bangles.”
