I like the look of metal cuffs but I hate how they turn my skin metallic when I wear them. I never have that problem with regular bracelets but those don't have the fierce look that metal cuffs have.

Is there an accessory brand that makes metal cuffs that, I don't know, have some sort of lining inbetween the cuff and the skin?

I know exactly what you mean. I think it’s best to wear silver or gold cuffs, not the ones made of cheap metal. Silver doesn’t leave any discoloration on the skin, nor does gold. There are also plastic cuffs painted with either gold, silver, or bronze and they look like the real deal. Just a few suggestions. :)

I agree. I'm 'acidic',  so my skin reacts to fancy or cheap jewelry ... I think it's a  good idea to buy good jewelry. They're actually make for a good investment too!  But there's a lot of jewelry designers who aren' t making jewelry  out of  gold or silver, but are still quite expensive. I always pick the ones the  are turquiose in color. Love dangling earrings, love  gold cuffs, they look great on my skin.

Just saw these replies, got buried in the new posts. :)

Ooh, I love the idea of plastic accessories that are made to look like metal. I'm too cheap to buy real gold so I might have to just go with that! Haha. Hope I can find some online. I know the cuffs from Nicole Richie's House of Harlow line has lining but they're too expensive for me.

sometimes the cuffs are so cute that they're worth getting a little green tinge :)

I have a natalie B. bracelet I got from shop planet blue and i've found that if I only wear it when i'm out and about but take it off right after, it rub off on my skin unless I get it wet via washing hands, or lotion, or sweating etc. either way, if you find a metal cuff that's in your budget that just screams HOT i say wear it anyway

I like the metal one, well of course with an appropriate fashion.
