How To Style Anticlastic Jewelry
As a metalsmith, I pay close attention to how a bracelet behaves on a real wrist, not just how it looks in a photo. Anticlastic cuffs and bangles solve a problem I saw with flat bracelets: they look nice, but they sit stiff and dig at the edges. By curving the metal across and along the wrist at the same time, I can spread the pressure and make the cuff move with you instead of fighting you.
