When it comes to jewelry, we all have certain pieces we never want to take off. Some are heirlooms that hold unrivaled sentimental value, and others are chunky on-trend pieces that add a statement to any look. The subject of today's roundup, however, is the more minimalistic pieces that just go with everything—specifically, simple bracelets. As much as we love an eye-catching big cuff, these easy and uncomplicated ones provide a refreshing contrast, are easy to stack, and will go seamlessly with anything you wear.

We pulled together our favorites for you to add to your own jewelry box, from investment-worthy buys from Cartier to under-$100 contemporary options.
