Did you know? Open cuff bracelets have seen a resurgence in popularity since the 1970s, a period when imposing jewelry and gilded finishes were particularly in vogue in Western fashion. This type of jewelry, appreciated for its practicality and visual effect, finds its origins in ancient goldsmithing where chasing and hammering techniques were already used to decorate metal.
