Trifari Hand Clasp Clamper




I know, I know.... you want this. I've shown this to about 5 women in the past few days and all of them immediately put it on their wrist and didn't want to take it off. Notice that the sleeves have different patterns and even different cuffs. I've been imagining it enameled, with colorful sleeves and even painted nails.

Massive Clear Lucite Clamper Bracelet




You may remember that I posted this same bracelet in black Lucite a few months back. In the description I mentioned my friend having a clear version that I have envied for some time. She found hers in Paris, and I found mine in San Francisco this past week. This is a show stopping piece and I am hesitant to part with it, so it is priced accordingly.

Clear Lucite Bangle

Another flat Lucite bangle, this time in a clear finish. These are great for layering.

Ketchup and Mustard, part 2

Ketchup and Mustard, part 1


How lucky I am that my friend and vintage afficianado Lisa decided to part with these two fabulous Lucite bracelets. I endearingly call them ketchup and mustard obviously because of their color, and less obviously because I want to eat them up! They look great as a pair (very Ronald McDonald) or alone. They are very similar to the marbelized Lucite bracelet from a previous post.

Kenneth Jay Lane Black and White


I love black and white cookies, so I had to grab this because the enamel looks like icing! This is a great piece to layer with others because it is so simple and graphic.

Massive Black Lucite Clamper Bracelet


So, my friend Kirsten has this same bracelet, which she found at a Paris flea market, in clear Lucite. I love it and think about it often, and assumed I would have to go to Paris to find another one. Imagine my surprise at finding a black one here in Southern California. I should have photographed it on someone since the weight and size are difficult to capture otherwise. Take my word for it, this piece is massive. The closure is magnetic and is located under the goldtone design.

Fuschia Lucite Bangle



Same as the one below, but in fuschia.

Cranberry Lucite Bangle


This deadstock 1980's Lucite bangle really has me excited. I've seen these before, but they've always been out of reach- either too expensive, or part of someone else's collection. They are too cost prohibitive to make now. They are flat and thick, so that they stand away from your arm as you're wearing it, which is quite a dramatic effect. I have a fushia one too, which I will post next.

Pink Lucite Swirl Bracelet



This vintage Lucite bracelet takes the shape of a coil or a spring. It fits perfectly with the colorful, chunky accessories we're seeing this spring.

This version is painted with leopard spots.

This are natural horn bangle bracelets that have been hand painted. This one has a chevron pattern to it.

Pair of Hexagonal Wood Bangles



Perfect for layering and just right for summer, these wood bangles are carved into a hexagonal shape with varying thickness. The look is that of an abstracted bone.

Chainlink Cuff Bracelet


Can you tell I've been into wide metal cuffs lately- especially those with movement. These links are all loose, which allows the piece to drape over your wrist as you move your hand.

Artisan Sterling Bangle Cuff


Made up of a series of hand bent bangles joined at the back, this sterling silver cuff is a perfect layering piece. I didn't get a great shot of the bent front side, but it has a wave look to it.

Spring Color: Rainbow Lucite Bracelet



The matching bracelet to the necklace I posted a few days ago. Wearing them together might be too much so I gave them a little room to breathe on the blog as well.

1980's Artisan Silver Cuff



Before you get too excited I have to warn you that I've already sold this piece. I showed it in my case for only one week, then took it out deciding I should hold onto it. A customer that saw it in that week came back for it and I ended up selling it to her. It is a really spectacular piece that is heavy and sits on about 6" of your forearm. Although it is unsigned I am sure this was created by an important artisan jeweler. The new owner is a very lucky girl.
