The year 2025 is already marked by the return of a key piece of jewelry from the 80s. Seen and seen again in recent years on the catwalks, it is increasingly worn by celebrities.
From one year to the next, trends evolve. If minimalist jewelry was in vogue in recent years, it is now giving way to vintage and more fanciful creations. Which is not surprising, given that the current fashion is for loud luxury and animal prints, such as leopard or zebra.
One piece of jewelry in particular stands out. Worn since the ancient period and very popular in the 70s, 80s and 90s, the cuff bracelet is said to be back. He had already made his debut on the catwalks of the spring/summer shows of Saint Laurent, Chloé and Fendi in 2022. But this was only the beginning of his rise. During the last Fashion Week, it was on the wrist of all the models!
In XXL rhinestones at Acne Studios, it adorned the draped dresses. In gold and silver, it added a pop of color to black and gray outfits at Ami. Elie Saab opted for leather cuffs, while Balmain and Schiaparelli opted for XXL.
This flagship accessory has been seen again and again at the fashion shows of the most prestigious fashion houses. Now, it’s the turn of celebrities to reclaim it. We remember, for example, the cuffs that Julianne Moore wore on November 17, 2024. These were the iconic Maltese cross-shaped cuffs created by the jeweler Fulco di Verdura in the 1930s for Coco Chanel.
The cuff bracelet not only adds style and sophistication to an outfit, it also has a beautiful story behind it. Indeed, it was worn by soldiers and royalty in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome as a protective talisman and sign of power. This is also the reason why we can find it on the arms of the greatest comic book heroines, such as Wonder Woman or the Dora Milaje warriors from Black Panther.
In gold, silver, wood, metal, or even rhinestones, the cuff bracelet comes in a thousand and one ways, allowing you to wear it according to your style! On clothing, it pairs perfectly with a suit or even a blazer. In summer, you can wear it with a dress or even a shirt.
