17 Cuff Bracelets That Would Make Wonder Woman Jealous

For spring, I'm taking accessory inspiration from my favorite female superheroines and slipping on their ultimate closet staple: the big, bad cuff. It looks great with everything, plus has crime-fighting powers. Wonder Woman and Xena: Warrior Princess put the wrist ornament to good use when they are deflecting bullets or knives. (Disclaimer: Please don't try to stop bullets with your jewelry.)

Although you probably won't have to battle an army of super-villains this summer (I hope), I still recommend wearing this bold, statement piece to give yourself a kick-ass-gone-chic look.
