Opulent Artisan Textile Cuff- Glitters Like Gold

Description

Another in my series of romantic and decadent textile cuffs...

Inspired by the materials themselves, I have handstitched every last little bit of this cuff with great attention to detail.

I started with a base from a strip of a vintage handmade quilt. The quilt was too tattered to use as a quilt but too precious to throw out. This makes the cuff very comfortable and soft to wear.

On top of the quilt piece, I added a ivory on beige tapestry fabric accented with a snippet of a vintage lace monogram of an E (for Elegance?)..I then made a tattered, ruffled organza flowerette for the center of the cuff in a dark, rich chocolate brown. Over top of the I placed the most beautiful vintage enamel and rhinestone pin. I gently formed the pin to fit the curve of the wrist, I securely stitched the pin over the flowerette. (please note, the pin is vintage and was pre-loved and is missing one of the rhinestone centers).
Alongside the flowerette I've stitched vintage shell buttons.
Circling the whole cuff is a layer of beige chenille ruffle trim topped with a satiny spiral trim in cream.

3 silver metal snaps securely closes the cuff.

the cuff is 9.5" in length, fits a small wrist (mine is 6" (15cm) in diameter and this cuff fits a smidge loose on me)

Your cuff comes wrapped in tissue and boxed to avoid crushing the flower and pin.
