“If you’re feeling extra lovey you can get the heart-shaped cuffs,” says girl Henry. “The length of the cord can be adjusted to make it either a bracelet or a necklace. Different color cords make them even more personalized. A great gift for that special man or woman, whether it’s been eighth months or 18 years.”

That’s so mignon, love. Though really, if you want to lock your partner down, steal them with a solid, 24K deal - forget bargaining, and hustle heavy for the gold. Should -

”- the night takes a kinkier turn, be prepared with these erotic - yet stylish - 24-karat-gold handcuffs [by Kiki de Montparnesse],” glosses New York magazine.

“I love this 18k yellow gold necklace,” says jewelry designer Kristen McCloud. “The clasp is in the puzzle of the links.” 

And the puzzle is in why more people don’t think this Erica Weiner handcuff lariat necklace the stuff of true ooh la love.

“I love unexpected jewelry and this delicate yet tough is just perfect for adding a little edginess to a pretty outfit,” says ThisNexter Mmmonica. “It’s only $22 and produced in New York in small batches.”
