Gorgeous and durable, eye-catching without being over-the-top
I ordered this because I've been looking for another good cuff bracelet that can go with anything, for any occasion from casual to date night or even semi-formal; my existing two cuffs are both only suitable for casual wear at this point (one originally was more casual and the other is simply too worn after 30+ years and needs the cabochons re-polished), and my more formal bracelet is a bridal style that's a little too much for everyday use. While I do have other bracelets, I tend to reach for cuffs most often because of the ease of slipping them on; there's no hassle with tiny clasps when my fingers are too stiff due to an autoimmune flareup, or not being able to slip a bangle or watch over my hands on a day when I'm dealing with a lot of swelling.<br /><br />I love that this is silver in tone rather than gold, as it goes better with my primarily cool-toned wardrobe, and that the triple-band appearance is reminiscent of my too-worn favorite. I love that it pairs just as well with a tank top and denim shorts as with a LBD or sheath dress/jacket combo; it bridges the gap between casual and semi-formal quite well without being cutesy or seasonal, and it goes with almost everything. No matter what outfit it's paired with, it's an eye-catching accent, but it's versatile enough to play a focal role or a supporting one, and the stainless steel is easy to re-polish if it gets worn after a decade or two of frequent wear.
