Bone Cuff or Tiffany T bangle? Or something else?

When you say the "T" is "more me", then you'd like the "T". It's what YOU like. The Bone Cuff draws Bone Cuff fans. I'm a Bone Cuff fan too. But if you're on the "T" Team, then support your "team". You'd be gorgeous regardless. A robin's egg champagne toast to whichever your decision. It's TIFFANY! Holly Golightly would approve.
Maybe I should clarify. When I said the T bangle felt more “me,” I meant it’s more like things I already own. I’d like to do something different, which I why I’m considering the bone cuff. I’m goign to go back and try them again, including the smaller version of the split cuff. Usually these decisions take time and a few try-ons!
I have the large split cuff and it is hard to wear. You have to have thin arms and a longer arm especially from the wrist to the elbow. That being said it is one of the most dramatic pieces of jewelry I own. Get the medium bone cuff...it's iconic/classic Tiffany!

Your cuff is beautiful! That said, I can see how it would be hard to wear. I need to go back and try on both the medium and small bone cuffs. The sales person I was dealing with really didn’t know about the sizes (or even that the cuffs are Left and Right specific) so I have to go back and work with someone else.
YES...get a SA that knows what they're doing! UGH! Also...you can tweak the cuff slightly, making it bigger/smaller, for a more comfortable fit.
My bone cuff definitely has some scratches on it along with a small dent. I once had it polished back to perfection but decided that I preferred it with patina. I doubt I’ll ever have it polished like that again. I do occasionally clean it with a silver cloth, mostly because I tend to get lotion from my arms on the inside of it. Considering how much I wear it and bang into things, I think it’s held up extremely well. I recently took it off and put on an Agean link bracelet, but felt naked, so changed back. I like the cuff and EP pendants because I think they work well with my minimal clothing choices.
By the way, my first bone cuff was the small one. Over time, I decided I preferred a larger one and moved to the
And, yes, I have the larger cuff with the slit in it. I refer to it as “the amazon cuff” because of its size. I’m planning to try wearing it regularly (but not daily) this winter....I think that having the cuffs just peeking out of sweater sleeves will work for me....but time will tell. (sorry about the autocorrect....I can’t seem to get it off)

Yes, I thought about that afterward — I’m not sure if I should go for the small or medium. The medium felt a little big, but if it can be “closed” a bit, it might be perfect. Thanks for reminding me of this.
I can see why you call the large one with the slit the Amazon cuff — it looks like something out of the Wonder Woman movie (and I mean that in a good way)!
I love that idea of a signature piece, the one you wear so much you feel naked without it!
Would you mind posting a close-up photo of your medium bone cuff? I’d love to see the patina!
I purchased the small bone cuff this year and LOVE mine. It is very different from other things I own (which are more dainty/classical/"pretty") and is absolutely stunning and a statement piece, yet I feel comfortable wearing it with an everyday outfit (jeans/T-shirt) and to my office (which has a casual work environment).
I have a small wrist and am petite, and the small bone cuff in size small works very well for me. I highly recommend it!
I have a medium Tiffany T wire bangle in gold (not the same style as the one you posted) and while I like it, it's not "love" like how I feel about my bone cuff.
Like others, I've also received many compliments on the piece.

This is just what I want to hear! Because although I am not petite (about 5’6 and medium/slender build), my wrists ARE small, and I’ve been told over and over not to wear “big” bracelets because they will overpower my bony wrists. But I really love this cuff! I’m so glad to hear you love yours so much — and that you wear it casually with jeans, because that’s how I want to wear mine (if I get one). Thanks for your input!
I was thinking you should go with the size up. The small is fine but I think the medium will be a great impact piece and completely different than you are used to.
Here you go. FYI: I’m 5’ 5” tall and small boned. My wrist circumference is a bit less than 6”.....my original small cuff fit my wrist the same as my medium does. The difference is in the width of the piece. At least that’s been my experience with them.
As you can see, I generally prefer my belongings to look “softened by love”....in other words: ‘used’.... rather than looking new.
Here’s its ‘birthmark’. I had to set it at an angle to show the dent. The dark in the dent is from reflection...it’s not a mark in itself. Considering how much I bang it around, it’s held up well.....
