How is it.........

that we have come to calling any bracelet that has an opening and is not solid in its circumference a "cuff"? I have only heard that in the past year or so. I have always called that a bracelet. A cuff has more width-doesn't it?

(When I bought Judith's tsv years ago of three sterling bangles and a one charm bracelet to layer, (we recieved one every three months I believe), she didn't call those bracelets "cuffs" then!)

Thanks!

I dunno. Why do you wear a ""ring"" on your finger.......and your phone has a ""ring"" tone ?????

I always thought a cuff was a bangle that didn't go all the way around. It has an opening.

Bangle, complete circle or oval, cuff has an opening. Pretty standard in the jewelry industry. A bracelet can be anything you wear on your wrist.
