6 Blinged-Out Hand Bracelets

by Megan Gustashaw

Introducing the accessory world’s newest It-piece: the hand bracelet, a.k.a. the handlet or palm cuff. Call it what you want, this fashion-forward style has been making a major showing lately, and we’re totally on board with the trend.

Elegantly meant to wrap around your palm, these bracelets bring an edgy, avant garde twist to an evening ensemble (think: black tie gala or glam winter wedding) Here, a few fine jewelry options we’re inspired by (read: mind bending-ly luxe) and some contemporary pieces for those who want to test run the trend.

Modern

Anna Khouri, $21050

This 18K rose gold and pave diamond cuff was made to be flaunted. Wear it with just about anything, from jeans and a button-down to a red carpet gown.

Edgy

Gaydamak, $11492

We’re suckers for black diamonds, and this piece shows us how it’s done. Delicate, yet gothic, this lacy style represents a darker take on the trend.

Glamorous

Yeprem for Plukka, $15850

This bracelet features 7.75 carats of diamonds, which wrap around the palm, pinky and middle fingers in the coolest way. A bit avant-garde maybe, but a showstopper for certain.

Everyday Jewelry

Opulent

Leviankash, $930

Gemstones can take a black dress from simple to standout with just the right amount of bling. With yellow gold and opal, this piece offers a vintage take on the trend.

Nautical

A Peace Treaty, $92

Bring your stacked ring game to the next level with this sterling silver option, perfect for everyday wear or a casual-glam dinner party.

Bohemian

Mallarino, $320

A real-world option that adds some sass to your accessories arsenal, this 24-k gold vermeil hand bracelet is hip yet delicate enough to be worn with a formal gown.
