Steven Edward's jewelry line, which he entitles "The Touch," has a selection of unusual braided and cable bangles bracelets. You can go with a few thinner bangles and stack them or pick one chunky design for a more dramatic, red-carpet, look.

I like to wear multiple bangles myself. The chunky ones tend to feel a little too much for every day wear, but I like how you can just slip on one or two or three bangles quickly when you've got to get out the door.

Edward's Mariner Collection has the look of rope, but of course, we are talking ropes made with 14kt yellow and white gold along with accents of diamond, sapphire, ruby or emerald.
