Powerful jewels will also play a part at the wrist this season. Go big or go home with the "off
the cuff " (Vogue) look this winter. Large cuff s dominated at Balmain, Alexander McQueen,
Alaïa, Loewe, Jil Sander, Chloé, and Rick Owens, while stacks of bangles made towering
statements at Saint Laurent, Amush, LaQuan Smith, and more. Worn with basic blacks in
catsuits and long dresses, the "brigade of bangles" (Marie Claire) is edgy but refi ned, packing
a powerful punch à la the famed Nancy Cunard Deco era photos.
Assael's Luminosity cuff makes a powerful and bold wrist statement, featuring 23 Natural
Color Tahitian Cultured Pearls amid cabochon Moonstones and multi-color Lavender Spinel.
Seen at Halpern, Armani Privé, Hermés and more, the striking eff ect of a large cuff bracelet
makes a remarkable and singular statement of style. Pearls at the wrist add an understated
touch of sophistication, perfect with denim or any of the long fl owing looks for the season
(see section on "long looks" below). e Flex bracelet by Sean Gilson for Assael can be
stacked in multiples or worn with gold bangle bracelets to mimic the Fall/Winter looks at
Saint Laurent, or the Bubble bracelet, also by Sean Gilson for Assael, can bring a hint of
femininity to trousers, trench coats, and wonderfully bulky sweaters.
