I either like my jewels timeless and romantic (yes, that usually involves a good diamond or three) or spunky and conversation-worthy. I don’t have to tell you that A.L.C.’s falls nicely into the latter category. Finally, a pair of handcuffs you can actually wear with pride!
Agent Provocateur makes theirs fantasy-worthy, adorned in white crystals; Kiki De Montparnasse’s 24-karat gold cuffs are made to use, complete with a set of keys. While those naughty versions might be the gift to give your honey (as long as it’s with a sassy wink), these brass bracelets are simply bangles with a handcuff twist. Genius! Thick, smooth rings of brass are bonded together with a contrasting silver chain-link, adding a touch of interesting hardware to your bracelet duo. All the kink of a cuff and none of the clunk. At Barneys New York for $495.
Pair with: Speaking of Kiki De Montparnasse, these bangles will toughen up their Siren dress. With a sculpting bodice, bra cups, and sheer mesh sides, this is reserved strictly for hot date night. Let your bangles drop a hint, too. On Shopbop for $247.50 (from $495).
