Cuff Bracelets The cuff (and its cousin, the armlet) is a very old jewelry form. Examples have been found from as early as 2500 B.C. Often they were made from that most-malleable metal, gold, and were worn by both men and women.


Why is gold so valuable? It's scarce. Throughout all of history, only about 116,000 tons have been found...enough to make a cube about 59 feet on one side.

Gold is beautiful. Ancient cultures equated its brilliance with the sun. We still prize its glow in jewelry and ornaments.

Gold has properties valuable to industry. It is an excellent conductor of electricity and resists corrosion. Pure gold does not tarnish.
