Hi, we would like them all, please.


It’s the year of cuff jewelry, and if you haven’t already stacked your ears with gold cuffs, we’re willing to bet you’ve at least been covering your twists, braids, and curls in them. But lest you think they’re only relegated to long locs, we’ve got 12 insanely pretty pics to prove you wrong (and to also hardcore inspire you to mix up your cuffing tomorrow). Behold our favorites, ahead.
