These hinged cuffs are classic in style, but certainly not standard in material. Smooth, luscious ebony wood is highlighted with "cufflinks" of unmatched semi-precious stones such as blue and smoky topaz, peridot, citrine, amethyst and aquamarine set in 18K gold. It is these jewels that close the beautiful, dark wooden bracelets, adding that extra bit of glitz so in vogue today.
Wide and narrow interpretations of the cuffs by Kara Ross will dress up any fashion blouse. Prices start at $3,370.
