Pretty Pearls (top)   
Champagne pearls take on the look of fresh blossoms in Bend jewelry designer Nashelle’s Arya Signature cuff created exclusively for Oregon Bride. Resting atop an oxidized sterling-silver cuff, the combination of materials has just the right mix of sweet and tough. $457.

Natural Beauty (second from top)  
Hand-carved by Native Alaskan artisans from naturally shed buffalo horn, Monique Péan’s cuff also features five sparkling bezel-set, conflict-free diamonds across the piece’s creamy smooth surface. It’s an organic yet elegant design, available from Twist, Northwest Portland’s emporium of one-of-a-kind jewelry. $2,145.

Bridal Bling (center)  
Downtown Portland’s custom jewelry expert Malka Diamonds and Jewelry’s 14K white gold bracelet includes mother-of-pearl inlay and 2-carat total weight diamonds and is a sophisticated take on a beach wedding–inspired bauble. $5,000.

Archaic Alchemy (fourth from top)  
Using a centuries-old Balinese metal-layering technique, Anna Beck’s Bali cuff in sterling silver and gold plate has a modern presence. $412, available at Nordstrom.

Fashion Forward (second from bottom)  
Glittering in Eugene’s Fifth Street Public Market, NewTwist carries sought-after lines such as Melissa Joy Manning, whose oxidized sterling-silver cuff with gold and diamond details is unexpectedly feminine. $715.
