Check out out her bracelet and ear rings. Something tells me, she enjoys her work! I took this shot, while hanging out a taxi window doing about 20 mph. That explains her expression!
Hinged cuff bracelet with asymetrical pierced designs, inlayed with filigree designs. One of a kind.

What's going on in this picture?
This girl was arrested for public intoxication after attending San Diego's most recently banned Floatopia...
Don’t know what Floatopia is? Picture several thousand college students drinking on rafts and inner tubes in the water and you’ll get a pretty good idea of what’s happening out here.
A couple of years ago the City Council banned drinking alcohol on San Diego beaches, piers and sidewalks, but it didn’t occur to anyone to also ban drinking on the water. So over the weekend, thousands of college students showed up with beer coolers as well as plastic rafts, inflatable kiddie pools and inner tubes for 2010 Floatopia. Organizers alerted spring break revelers through Facebook at Floatopia SanDiego.
As long as the college students drank their beer and alcohol on their floaties, the polices were helpless to stop. Some of the police stood on surf boards to overseas the floating party and the cops herded the students into the shallower water to keep them away from boats in Mission Bay.

The cuff link has a long and interesting history intertwined with the development of buttons, the worked buttonhole, the Industrial Revolution, the evolution of men's fashion and the French cuff.
1200s
Strings pins or belts were used rather than buttons to fasten clothing. It was not until fitted garments became popular in the 13th century that buttons were used as fasteners.
1600s
In the 17th century the decorative lacy cuff of the Renaissance began to give way to more practical styles. At first noblemen began using ribbons to tie their cuffs and the elegance of them was considered a status symbol. By the late 17th century ribbons were replaced by jeweled buttons which were called Sleeve Buttons. These were much more simple than lace and much more visually interesting than ribbons and became very popular very quickly.
1700s
By the time of King George (1738-1820) these buttons had become much more ornate. one favourite style was to create miniature paintings on the underside of a piece of glass or quartz. It was still a bauble of the elite classes however, and they were quite expensive to produce due to the material costs involved. This like so many facets of European society changed rapidly with the coming Industrial Revolution.
1800s
At the beginning of the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and towards the end of Britains Industrial Revolution the middle class adopted cuff links. Unable to afford gems they turned to replicas of the real thing. Rhinestones and pastes were used as fake diamonds, pinchbeck a copper and zinc alloy substituted for gold and cut steel marcasite were used for silver. a rose or flat cut was favoured by late Georgian and Victorian jewelers.
1840
The French cuff or double cuff shirt sleeve become a popular fashion accessory. The historical stimulus for the elegant touch in mens fashion was the publication of Alexander Dumas The Three Muskateers. Dumas detailed description of the turned-back sleeves of the men guarding King Louis Xlll inspired European designers to modify the single cuff link-holed shirt which had been a fashion main stay in England.
1882
In 1882 George Krementz invented a machine that was based on a Civil War cartridge shell. It would mass produce one-piece buttons and cuff links very cheaply, which further enabled everyone to enjoy what was once the exclusive domain of the wealthy and privileged.
1900s
Although the growing middle class liked enameled cuff links during the early Victorian period, it was during the Art Deco years that enamels reached their popularity. Skilled craftmen such as Faberge had perfected the art of using enamels by the end of the 19th century which he then mass produced during the early period of the 20th century. The Faberage enamel cufflinks are said to have a gem-like brilliance and are highly sought after in auction houses throughout the world. Other leading cuff link designers like Cartier and Tiffanys also began produce cuff links at the turn of the 20th century and were heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau - Art Deco, Cubism period.
1924
In 1924, Mr Boyer, of the Boyer company, created a fastener system made up of a tilting stick between a double stem fixed to the base. Nowadays, this system still remains the most common fastener used.
1970s
In the Seventies, shirts with built-in buttons replace cuff links. Fortunately, the haute couture of famous names kept the style of wearing cuff links which continued to influence many people and kept the tradition alive.
1987
In 1987 a pair of cuff links once belonging to Edward, who was in line for the throne of England, sold at auction for $440,000. They were engraved with the initials E and W.
1990s
The French cuff shirt make a dramatic come back and cuff links become a main stream fashion accessory spanning across all ages. Young people rediscover this accessory. Paul Smith & Gucci brands start to expand and increase their new cuff link ranges. A new generation of cuff links was born. Cuff links, once viewed as a formal jewel becomes an essential accessory for both men and women wanting to express their individuality with style.
2000+
Today cuff links are worn all over the world by men and women of discriminating taste and style. Whether it’s a classic or a modern design - or even one of the latest in novelty designs - cuff links are something that can be worn and appreciated by anyone who wants to look their best.
This lovely cuff is peyote stitched and bead embroidered using Japanese bronze, gold-lined turquoise seed beads and Czech turquoise and brown seed beads. The cabochon is genuine turquoise. The base is a blank brass cuff. The inside is lined with ultrasuede. The cuff fits all sizes. The actual cuff is c. 1 ½” (c. 4 cm) wide and the centre bead embroidered cabochon measures 2” by 2 ½” (c. 5.5 cm x 7 cm). This looks amazing on! Will look just as good worn with jeans as it does with an evening dress.
Trying out some ideas ahead of the Macro Mondays theme of 'Buttons and Bows' for the coming week. I like the textures and shallow DoF here, but will keep searching for more button-based inspiration!
Fluorescence at work.
What I thought was a fancy piece of art work then dawned on me that it was a bracelet, and that was close, but it is actually a cuff, designed to look like a long sleeve cuff.
We got Rumblemumbles one too and she has worn hers out to an event.
It is made of lucite which is some sort of plastic. Not sure how they get it to fluoresce.
