Jewelry Trend 2012: Statement Cuffs - unique, geometric or architectural styles

How about a little bit of arm candy today? It's definitely time for a jewelry update - the trends don't change as often, and many pieces can last you for years, but this is a fresh look at what to wear with some of those new spring items in your closet.

A statement cuff is an easy way to dress up an outfit (or just add some sparkle to your day wear), and here we have a terrific selection of geometric, and architectural-style cuffs that will definitely get noticed on your wrist. If you happen to follow red carpet fashion, you will remember Gwyneth Paltrow at the 2012 Academy Awards in that gorgeous minimalist white gown by Tom Ford (and matching cape!) - but did you happen to notice the statement cuff..? It was worth a cool million (no online shopping for that today!), but this is the added polish we're talking about here... these cuffs are dramatic, interesting and quite different.

For the fashion-forward type, names to follow include Pamela Love, Aurelie Bidermann, or New York based designer Gemma Redux. Reader favs include Kenneth Jay Lane and Alexis Bittar.. and for the utlimate luxury, John Hardy and Repossi will do quite nicely! And for a close-up photo of Gwyneth's cuff at the Academy Awards, scroll to the bottom of the page.. it was to sigh for.
