This lovely elegant cuff is peyote stitched using Japanese brown metallic iris (closer to black than brown) seed beads and embellished with pearly-gold Czech fire-polished beads and light bronze seed beads. The centre square bead is mother-of-pearl. The peyote band covers a blank brass cuff base which is lined with ultrasuede. The cuff fits all sizes. The cuff is c. 1 ¼” (c. 3.5 cm) wide.
Hand sewn, hand beaded textile cuff.
Vintage lace, Swarovski bicones, crochet flower, brass filigrees, crystals and beads...
teampunk or Victorian bracelet started with the vintage brass cuff--heavy and lovely, it measures about 2" wide. FIrst I soldered on a sterling silver bezel and set a deep turquoise-colored oval stone onto the cicada. Then I riveted on 2 vintage-style filigree leaves before adding the cicada which I previously treated with a patina. I got very lucky with the patina and achieved a nice mottling of turquoise and gold. The patina has been treated with a clear coating to help it last. With the enhanced vintage vibe, this one of a kind piece would be lovely with your best corset. Full STEAM ahead!!
AOR379C is a Bedford VAL14 / Plaxton C52F new in April
1965 to Glider & Blue, Bishops Waltham . It was acquired by Derek James , Sherston in December 1972 , in a brown and cream livery. He later painted it dark blue with a cream roof , and it retained this livery with Ray Cuff after he acquired it in January 1976 , until withdrawn at the end of 1980 , albeit with most of the offside panels replaced and unpainted for some years.
AOR379C is pictured at the bus stop on Church Bridge , Bruton , with the destination boxes showing "Shepton Mallet , Bruton , Evercreech". The door is manually operated which is not ideal for one man bus operation.
Ray Cuff's next bus in 1981 was NUF438G a Bristol RELL6G / Marshall B53F , new in 1969 to Southdown , the first of several REs , both owned and borrowed.
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.
This stunning bracelet is crocheted with silver wire and embellished with light gold matte Czech fire-polished multicut glass beads, cream and gold Swarovski pearls. The cuff is complemented by a sterling silver magnetic sliding clasp.
It measures 2” in width and 6 ½” in length (to fit a 6” wrist).

Melanie Muir meets Carol Simmons!!
My first cuff using Melanie's Rock Cuff tutorial using metallic mokume gane sheets made in Carol's class at Polydays 2012 recently. Can't see the gorgeous gleam of the metallic Premo in this photo but it has buffed up to a lovely shine!
Polymer clay cabochons made by Sharon Solly. Surrounded with seed and glass beads on UltraSuede backing. Backed with another strip of UltraSuede and joined with gold seeds and gold lined tiny crystal drop beads.
Hand knitted cuff, embellished with coral lace, Swarovski Padparadscha bicones, sequins and seed beads...
As seen in an email from eternity collars.
These appear to be virtually identical to the Cartier replicas that I bought a while back, which is not a bad thing.
However, I would be more impressed if, for that money, you got recessed screw heads, with a more difficult to open driver type. It's not really locked on if she can open it with the file on her nail clippers.
For the bracelets that I bought, I replaced the round head screws with countersunk Phillips head screws. But then, she spends most of her time locked in her tiffany bracelet.

This lovely affirmation cuff is a gentle reminder to believe in you... your dreams... your strength... your faerys ;) Chocolatey brown and warm pink are a beautiful combination...
