This striking, large, tribal-inspired, unique cuff was designed around 3 of MAKUstudio ( www.flickr.com/photos/makustudio/ ) gorgeous OOAK raku ceramic cabochon. Bead-embroidered with dark copper and matte black Japanese seed beads, matte black and black Czech druk glass beads, and genuine freshwater pearls in light shades of the colours depicted within the 3 cabochons. The cuff is lined with black Ultrasuede and fastens with a Sterling Silver sliding clasp which is attached to a beadwoven strap.
This cuff is a truly unique statement piece and will look amazing worn with anything from jeans to evening wear for that elegant-rock-chick look.
When closed the cuff has a “square-ish” shape and is incredibly comfortable to wear as it sits nicely on the wrist without the cuff turning around. The woven band and clasp sit on the underside of the wrist. I made them smaller than overall cuff to ensure comfort and movement of the wrist.
Cuff Measurements:
The centrepiece is 3 ½” (c. 9 cm) at the widest point in the centre.
The narrowest point, the strap where the clasp is, measures ¾” (c. 1.8 cm).
The length is 8” (c. 20 cm) TO FIT WRIST SIZE 6-7” (c. 16.5-18 cm).

These were my grand father's cuff links, I rarely wear shirts that require them and I have other cuff links so I never use these. I don't have any shirts with detachable collars either so I haven't used collar studs for over fifty years.

When World War I began, Germany invaded neutral Belgium and Luxembourg as part of the Schlieffen Plan, in an attempt to capture Paris quickly by catching the French off guard through an invasion via neutral countries.
Manneken Pis ( Dutch for 'Little Pissing Man') is a landmark bronze fountain sculpture in central Brussels, Belgium. Though its existence is attested as early as the mid-15th century, Manneken Pis was redesigned by the Brabantine sculptor Jérôme Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1619. Its stone niche in rocaille style dates from 1770. The statue has been repeatedly stolen or damaged throughout its history. Since 1965, a replica has been displayed, with the original stored in the Brussels City Museum.
Manneken Pis is one of the best-known symbols of Brussels and Belgium, inspiring several legends, as well as numerous imitations and similar statues both nationally and abroad. The figure is regularly dressed up and its wardrobe consists of around one thousand different costumes. Since 2017, they have been exhibited in a dedicated museum called GardeRobe MannekenPis. Owing to its self-derisive nature, Manneken Pis is also an example of belgitude (French; lit. 'Belgianness'), as well as of folk humour (zwanze) popular in Brussels.
Notice the The GIBRALTAR Cuff-Title being worn by the soldier on the left. The story of the Gibraltar cuff title can be traced back to 1775 when the King of England, George III, Duke of Hannover was in need of fresh troops to allow British troops to serve in the colonies during the American Revolution. Five Battalions of troops from his native Hannover were recruited to replace British troops in the Mediterranean. Three of the Battalions, Von Beden, de la Motte, and von Hardeberg were sent on 16 October 1775 to Gibraltar for service. Life in the garrison on Gibraltar was uneventful until June 1776 when Spain declared war on England and immediately blockaded the island. Starvation, scurvy, and death by Spanish Artillery were commonplace on Gibraltar until the Treaty of Versailles lifted the siege on 15 August 1783. The British garrison and their three Hanoverian Battalions had lasted over three years and seven months. To honor the survivors of the siege, the three Battalions were authorized to wear a blue cloth cuff-title embroidered GIBRALTAR on the lower right sleeve of their Waffenrock.
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.

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.
