Wearing an arm cuff is a strategic decision
Not to wear other jewellery
Because the cuff is enough
You don’t need to wear chains, or bangles or anything else with it
It’s a really beautiful style statement on its own
Women look beautiful in jewellery
and strong and feminine
Jewellery has great cultural significance
I still have a beaded bracelet and necklace
that my parents bought
when we visited the Masai in 1976
I was so intrigued as to how they got the beads and made all that beautiful jewellery
from what?
There wasn’t a shop in sight
When I think of arm cuffs
Thai women, south-east asian women come to mind
simply, beautifully dressed in hand printed fabric
with few pieces of jewellery
but often an arm cuff
Wear it a couple of inches above your wrist
If you have beautiful arms you can be brave and wear one above your elbow
Try and find one that has an organic shape
and maybe a very simple, organic ring.
That’s all you need
Keep your clothing simple too
one dress, one cuff, one ring
is enough
Keep you rhair simple, your make up minimal and apply lipgloss
and there you are
Minimal style
Maximum impact
If you always wondered how to get that sleek, pared-back style
that other women seem to master
This is how you do it
Have a go
It’s great fun
If you’re not feeling confident and need a confidence-fix
This is the way to do it
Because this style says confident
Making a choice is confident-making
When you choose to wear one dress, one cuff, one ring
You’re making a choice
You’re saying no to other
Elegance is refusal
