Nicely detailed, sterling silver cuff bracelet
I recently purchased this beautiful sterling silver cuff elephant design bracelet. I love it! The detail is exquisite, and it has good weight to it. The only negative is the size. Like so many bracelets that I've bought from NOVICA artisans, this cuff bracelet is HUGE, and I do not have "dainty" wrists. Since it's a cuff, I can apply gentle pressure to close it tighter, but I do not want to misshape it, so I have to be very careful. Even at its tightest, this bracelet fits more like a bangle, falling down to the top of my hand, instead staying tightly cuffed around my wrist. This seems to be a regular occurrence from NOVICA artists. I love the uniqueness and the craftsmanship of NOVICA jewelry, but the craftsmen often size women's bracelets too big.

Men and women have adorned themselves with jewelry since long before the age of reason! Garlands of flowers, bracelets of woven grass, shells, and stone; such were the first decorations to beautify the human body. We may have been wearing jewellery as far back as 75,000 years ago - 30,000 years earlier than previously believed - according to a recent report by National Geographic News. Over the millennia, jewellery styles and materials have evolved in step with the advances of civilization. From the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, from the Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution (and seemingly back again!), jewellery styles have transformed, modernized, and then often returned to their most basic forms and essential elements.
