Went back to Verdura to retry some cuffs in size Medium. No matter how I slice it, I’m a medium build short filipino, with apparently large wrists and the larger cuffs (Black jade, white, larger gemstones etc) weigh me down (in a full length pic, I sadly look like a hobbit in Smaug’s treasure trove). Somehow even my legs look shorter. . .
if it helps anyone in the future, I believe my wrist measure under 6.5 circumference over the wrist bone, but one really needs to try each cuff in person and perhaps get Verdura to do a subtle tweak of the size. In one cuff sizer, I measured 59-45 (a medium, assume this is mm length and width) and in another wrist cuff sizer, it seemed like I could go up to 63-45 (a large) assuming I wanted some movement but not for it to roll over. The cuff is special order in size large, whihc isn’t necessarily a problem, but they just don’t have any in that size right now for me to try. The best cuff for someone of my dimensions is the matte textured gold that encircles the whole wrist bc it’s closer to the body. (I could get a medium on with marks left on my skin after removal) But someone who is considering any of the cuffs really needs more of a long, lean line. I haven’t given up entirely, bc I’m dieting and exercising to slim down the genreal profile, but the classic cuff is not the most flattering bracelet on me.
the bellperron stuff looks more streamlined on me, but is sized even smaller than Verdura. None of the bracelets fit. I did try on an Art Deco necklace which im considering. This is a pic taken at the BelPerron salon when I was trying it on. I believe it’s enamel with diamonds in the center and hinged in the back. Clasp is hidden in the front.
