Cuff
A rigid bracelet with an opening at the back, slipped over the wrist rather than fastened.
A cuff has no clasp. The gap lets it pass sideways onto the wrist, then it sits by its own tension.
That makes it the easiest substantial bracelet to put on one-handed, which a bangle is not.
Pearl cuffs set pearls into a broad metal band, or weave several rows between two rigid terminals.
When you are buying
Do not flex a cuff open and closed repeatedly to adjust it. Metal work-hardens and eventually cracks at the bend. Have it sized once, properly.
