I might have expected 2024 to be the year of the cuff—statement jewelry seems to be experiencing a big comeback, following years of more demure, curated styling. But as I was making the rounds on the show floors of Las Vegas Jewelry Week, another type of bracelet appeared to dominate all others.
It was the bangle that stole the shows this year, slim profiles in a wide array of appearances. I especially noted the hybrid versions—open like a cuff, but with a bangle’s thin width, so one could call them either cuffs or bangles (though I like to label them the latter). They’re the kind that would look incredible stacked on the arm, and after nearly a decade of curating our stud earrings and charms, I think the wrist is certainly due its time for embellishment.
Here are some of the newest bangles customers won’t be able to get enough of. Stack ’em up!
