Best Bet: Brass Cuff Ring and Bracelet

These matching bracelets and rings are inspired by thick railroad nails hammered to fit around your wrist or finger. The chunky brass gives both pieces that weighty, made-to-last feel, and the slightly tarnished sheen can toughen up a girly outfit or add polish to a T-shirt and jeans.

Ring, $39; bracelet, $49; at Club Monaco or online.
