The most interesting element of chunky bracelets is that you can pull them off with anything. With an Armani suit, little black Chanel dress or even a Dolce Gabbana t-shirt and jeans. Brands come secondary when your most powerful accessory is at play.



Forget the deluxe addition to your wardrobe this month. Try a new set of clustered bracelets that add zest to your daily attire. You can wear them at the beach, out for a cup of coffee, meetings or exclusive events where everything you wear might end up on page 3. Even if you’re wearing a tailored suit, bracelets team up brilliantly with minimalism adding just enough glamour and appeal.



Instagram and Tumblr are full of your atypical arm-candy pictures that usually is a collection of fun bracelets with a watch or your Hermes with a Chanel watch duo.



Either way bracelets are for everyone. As much as those Cartier bangles are the prime source of all things you love, you can always settle for less because in this case, less is more. Bracelets are hence a direct insight to your bank balance, reference to Cartier, or an honest glance at your fun personality.



The Love bracelet, was designed by Aldo Cipullo in 1969. Cartier offers the Love bracelet in 18k yellow gold, 18k “pink” (rose) gold, 18k white gold and in platinum. Many women you know are probably collectors or aspiring ones waiting on the lucky day they can afford all four.



Instead of bulking up on a collection of various kinds, the new multi-layered bracelets come together easily buckled in one strap.



The playfulness is displayed by the variety by different designers. Most Middle East designs are inspired by Lebanese, Egyptian, Turkish and Moroccan designs.



Beads, gold plated names, delicate stones, diamonds and crystals form the majority of popular designs.



Lately gold and silver chains with satin and thick threads are commonly flashed by public figures and celebrities.
