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.
Empress of Geiger Cuff Bracelet
I have noticed many beautiful pieces made by this artisan. The topaz stones are matched well and gorgeous along with the details of the entire bracelet. My only issue is that I have a difficult time finding most types of bracelets especially cuff ones to fit wrist as they should. I have small wrists, 5.75 at the wrist bone area along with slender arms and fingers. I would love it if more bracelets were made for women like me as we have a problem with them sliding too far down or off the hand, and cuff bracelets turning so that the side that should face up turns backwards. I would certainly buy more if available to fit me.
