I’d love to see your Jeanine Payer bracelet to compare! I think it’s something about the way the Bone Cuff is supposed to fit. That bump is supposed to go over the bone of your wrist, but when I put it on that way, it feels like the cuff is too close to my hand, too much up against where my wrist bends. But if I push it up my arm a little, it doesn’t look right.

I love love love bracelets — they are probably my favorite type of jewelry. But I’ve realized I only wear the ones that are easy and comfortable. I’m selling a couple of my H enamel bangles because, pretty as they are, it hurts to put them on and off, and once they’re on, they bang into things. So my new mantra is any new bracelet has to be easy on, easy off, and comfortable. The bone cuff fits the first criteria but I’m not sure enough about the second.

Bracelets are my favorite too - but bangles are not. They are either too hard to get on (I love my jade bangles but it is an effort to get them off and on) or they bang into things, and worst of all - when I’m working on my laptop they are always pressing into my wrist.
All my JP bracelets are open like this one and easy to get into. My favorite thing about them though is the inscriptions [emoji173]️
These aren’t great photos but I hope they help!

I love this! I hadn’t heard of this brand, so must check it out. I can see how, although the cuff is wide, it doesn’t have the bulk of the Bone cuff. The inscription gives it some delicacy and I like the way yours is getting patina.

Thank you!
Unfortunately, Jeanine Payer isn't making jewelry any longer. I think she stopped when the pressures of family and a successful business got to be too much. You can still find pieces on ebay though! I love mine - each inscription means something to me.
This bracelet has an Apache blessing and because I have an unpleasant medical procedure this afternoon, its giving me some good and positive vibes. :smile:

Good luck with the medical procedure!
 
thanks!
I'm sorry if I misled you on the jewelry :hugs:I only meant that I have a wide bracelet that doesn't bother me so I can't figure out why the Bone cuff doesn't work for me.
@ksuromax is probably correct in that it's a proportion issue.

Oh, you didn’t mislead me at all! I asked for a photo, and you provided one. It’s a beautiful piece!

And BTW, it’s part of my MO to “discover” things after they’re no longer available! :P

I certainly will! Actually, I already did get myself something in anticipation of DH’s surgery .... a John Hardy Naga cuff. I don’t have a good mod shot (turns out it’s not always easy to photograph your own arm, lol), so here’s a stock photo.

In my defense, I also sent several H items (a couple of unused scarves and bracelets, plus three watch bands) to Fashionphile, so there are a few “outs” to balance the “in!”

Oooh! This is totally gorgeous!

I’m not big on bracelets. Mainly because the ones I think are gorgeous - cuffs and bangles - are the ones it’s tough to wear. Like you mentioned, they bang on my desk and keyboard. The other thing I don’t like is that because of this, they scuff and have to be polished every time I turn around.
I know #spoiledgirlproblems. Lol!

OMG! This is so me!!! This is half the reason most of my bags are preloved. I don’t follow instagrammers or bloggers, I hate to shop and I don’t have one friend who gives a hoot about her wardrobe much past it being clean and neat. Lol! So, when I started getting serious about buying nice bags (and other things) I always found things I loved because someone in TPF shared it. But, it could have been a decade old and long since discontinued. Lol!

I’ve gotten better as I’ve started looking at fashion sites, etc. but I’m still always feeling a half step behind. Lol!

ETA: sorry, attached wrong cw, mine is 08 (and i have a bordeaux as well)
What a killer gorgeous pattern!
 
Congrats to all of you who are doing well with this month’s challenges. I, however, am going down in flames. :lol:

We’re in the midst of a big home project
(so smart right before the holidays right?) :facepalm:
And, I’m still making up work from time lost with my surgeries. So, I’ve had probably the least rotation in a month that I’ve ever had.

But!!! December is my bday month and holiday / party month so I’ll have much more opportunity to wear my glittery fun bags.

Speaking of my bday. Mr. Sparkle has asked me repeatedly what I want. The only thing I can think of is jewelry (?). There isn’t a bag I have my eye on right now. I’m curious, though. What bag is on your holiday wish list?
