Beaded Cuff Trio
These cuffs are inspired by the Scandinavian tradition of using “pulse warmers” to keep their body warm and to extend the life of their garment sleeves. These practical-yet-pretty cuffs do keep your whole body toasty warm. To make a masculine pair, simply leave off the beads. My son asked for a pair to wear in the warehouse at work and has found they are great chill-chasers.
