A one-inch one is so wearable, too!Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-75871688067455347722009-02-20T12:38:00.000-05:002009-02-20T12:38:00.000-05:00I love cuffs in pairs a la Coco Chanel.

My favourites I still wear today are antique Tibetan cuffs with a hinge and lock made of yak bone and bronze. Stupidly I cleaned them about 10 years ago so they've lost a bit of their charm, but I still love them dearly.<BR/><BR/>Diana Vreeland also had a pair of silver and (probably) ivory cuffs which she wore a lot.<BR/><BR/>But, unlike cocktail rings, I do find them a bit disabling. I certainly can't wear them all day to work for example, so tend to wear them on special occasions when all I need to do is raise my champagne glass!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-52911080366904722482009-02-20T12:37:00.000-05:002009-02-20T12:37:00.000-05:00I love that Hermès cuff you wear -- the best colou...I love that Hermès cuff you wear -- the best colour!<BR/>I have a few cuffs, but almost always wear an inch-wide First Nations carved silver one my husband surprised me with when I was back at school getting my first degree -- it depicts raven stealing the sun, thus nicely tied to a quest for knowledge. It's become almost talismanic for me and I feel a bit naked if I realize I've forgotten to put it on. Beautiful West Coast First Nations cuffs in various widths, in silver and/or gold, can be had for anywhere from 200 up, depending on carver and provenance. Always classic, always dramatic.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-2830898555754994892009-02-20T11:32:00.000-05:002009-02-20T11:32:00.000-05:00Pseu: They have a good looking faux-horn cuff and ...Pseu: They have a good looking faux-horn cuff and bib necklace, too. Finally seeing their vaunted new look.<BR/><BR/>Karen: Yes. My friend Christine wears two wide silver cuffs, in different but relating patterns, one on each wrist. Not a hard look but certainly has presence.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-50783266670732605462009-02-20T10:41:00.000-05:002009-02-20T10:41:00.000-05:00I love the look of double cuffs...It's sort of...I love the look of double cuffs...It's sort of subdued S&M-ish...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-56415498409870731332009-02-20T09:53:00.000-05:002009-02-20T09:53:00.000-05:00I adore cuffs but they must be adjustable because ...I adore cuffs but they must be adjustable because my wrists are so tiny.
