silver bracelets

Wrist restraints, metallic

Silver bracelets are handcuffs, from their metallic appearance and the way they encircle the wrists.

The term appears in police slang and crime fiction: The detective slapped the silver bracelets on him.

It adds a touch of dark humor to the act of arrest.
