Save v Spend: Gold cuffs


Big oversized cuff jewellery has been detected on our style radar and we’ve found two ideal pieces to slave the trend. One comes at a price; the other at a pinch (to clarify we don’t mean a five finger discount; it’s just very reasonably priced in comparison).

First up, the Yves Saint Laurent's gorgeous gold-plated hammered cuff: with its layered loops, this is a lovely piece of statement jewellery that remains feminine despite its size.

Working the same principle, this ASOS solid metal cuff is bigger and bolder but without the detail and design. It’s also not gold plated but what it lacks in finesse it makes up for in savings.

Wear either pieces with a sleek LBD or flowing maxi dress to enrich your look with Grecian-inspired glamour. Go for one or the other rather than both, a cuff on each arm and you might be mistaken for wearing gladiator fancy dress.
