Jewellery was a big part of Elizabethan Tudor fashion, especially for those who were rich and important. It showed both their wealth and status. Jewellery was also used to convey political messages, display religious beliefs and to remind people of friends and relatives who have died. Jewellery in Tudor times was not widespread and is essentially worn by the upper classes and those who could afford such finery.
Tudor bracelets tended to be made out of silver or gold and decorated with precious stones. Strands of pearls could also be wrapped around the wrist. The Elizabethan cuff is reminiscent of bracelets of the era. A wide cuff - elaborate, luxurious and intricately woven. A central panel of bezelled large beads form a bold focal point to the cuff. Eminently suited to the delicate wrists of the Elizabethan Tudor lady of the upper classes.
I made this cuff with the idea that it would be the centrepiece of the Bengal Tiger Suite. For this reason I lowered the "volume" of the necklace and upped the volume of the earrings along with the cuff. The "paw piece" as I call it has a double faceted East African oval citrine that weighs 38 carats. The observe side (top) is cut in mirror image to the reserve side (bottom) and the refraction in natural light is like a flame. There are 26 flawless brilliant cut diamonds around the "eye" like eye lashes and they weigh 2.80 carats in total weight. The cuff is made in white 18K gold and weighs in at 158.92 grams.

This is a new pose I am trying. It shows how straight the legs are held when tightly strapped in rigid braces. It is IMPOSSIBLE to bend at the knee in braces like these once the knee joints have been locked. Made to measure braces and other leather and metal items can be made for you.

A delicate, floral pattern designed and stitched completely hand creates a unique and romantic cuff style bracelet. I started with a base of purple cotton basted to fabric interfacing and stitched an intricate, floral design in pinks, greens, teals and yellow tones using cotton embroidery floss. When the embroidery was completed, the cuff was backed with very soft pale tan leather and edged with matte metallic gold beads in a brick stitch edging. A sliding tube clasp was added and securely stitched on. The clasp is gold plated. Please note that the beadwork and edge stitching was all done with very sturdy nymo thread.
Dimensions: This cuff will wrap comfortably around a 7 inch (177.8 mm) wrist, and can be worn on wrists smaller than 7 inches. Due to the nature of the closure, the size cannot be adjusted above 7 inches. The cuff is 1.625 inches (41.3 mm) wide.
