    My art show setup has almost all prices visible, but that is partly
    because I am a production caster, and so my prices are in the lower
    range, and thus it is to my advantage to show my prices off. For
    your cuffs, I'd suggest having a price sticker on the inside center,
    and being very fast to hand them the bracelet to try on.( Maybe even
    before they ask for it. You can tell when their eyes really stop to
    look seriously at a piece. Say,"Would you like to see this?", as you
    are already handing it to them.) They will check out the price, but
    the beautiful piece will already be in their hands, to admire
    closely. If you don't like stickers, you can use permanent marker,
    and remove it with rubbing alcohol after a sale. 

    Another option is to have a small sign near a grouping of work,
    indicating that the collection of cuffs is priced form $200 to $500,
    or whatever. 

    As a shopper, I have to admit that I like to see prices displayed.
