The arm cuff, or bajuband, is one of the oldest and most regal pieces of Indian jewellery, and it is making a strong comeback. Worn on the upper arm, it adds drama and grace to sleeveless and cap-sleeve outfits, making it a favourite for brides, festival looks and statement-making fashion.
Temple Dollar's Arm Cuff collection features ornate filigree, floral and sculptural designs. Here is how to wear the trend.
What Is a Bajuband or Arm Cuff?
A bajuband is an ornamental band worn around the upper arm. Traditionally part of bridal and classical-dance jewellery, today it is also styled with gowns, lehengas and fusion outfits for a bold, eye-catching look. Modern arm cuffs use an open or adjustable design so they are easy to wear.

Filigree and Floral Designs

How to Style an Arm Cuff
- Wear it on a bare upper arm with sleeveless, cap-sleeve or off-shoulder outfits.
- Keep one arm as the focus rather than wearing cuffs on both.
- Pair with matching bangles or keep the rest minimal for a clean look.
- Position it snugly so it stays in place without pinching.
Caring for Your Arm Cuff
- Adjust the band gently to fit, and avoid over-bending.
- Keep away from water, sweat and perfume to protect the plating.
- Wipe after wear and store separately so detailing stays intact.
