Off the Cuff

One of my favorite pieces of jewelry I own is a big gold cuff from Evocateur New York.  I drooled over it for the entire 2 weeks it sat in the window at the store I work at until I was lucky enough to receive it as a graduation present.  I’ve never seen anything like it; the ceramic pattern across the band was replicated from a tile floor found in the ruins of Pompeii, and the gold leaf design gives it a worn out, vintage feel.  And I can wear it with everything, be it a Grecian maxi dress or khakis and a button down.  Needless to say…cuffs, like mine, are one of my many weaknesses.














I was thrilled to find a full feature collection of cuffs online at ShopBop, and couldn’t help but add these faves to my wish list.  But now I beg the question…how many cuffs is too many?  I have a feeling I’m gonna wind up looking like Wonder Woman one of these days…
My inspiration?
The texture is unexpected...great for a casual weekend outfit and would look great stacked with other pieces
A set like this allows you to mix and match: you can wear just the skinnier piece for a more understated look, or both for a bigger impact...I think this one would look great paired with the one above
Love statement pieces like this...such a lovely, rich amber hue, great for transitioning between seasons
