Tax return season is coming up, and while I have no idea how much I will be getting back, I would like to hope that I would get enough back to get myself something nice.
I have always admired the bone cuff from afar, but never thought about purchasing it myself due to the iconic boldness of it. However, I think that I have come to a point in my life where I could pull this off with enough panache to make it worth my while to actually buy.
I tried on a few pieces at my local Tiffany's, and there wasn't much to choose from, due to my shop being one of the newer/smaller shops out there. This upcoming weekend, I will be in San Frnacisco, so hopefully they will have a more complete collection for me to try on.
So from what I have gathered, there are different makes/models of the bone cuff; small, medium, and large. The large is STUNNING. I tried on a medium and a small, and I liked the smallest-width bone cuff the best. I plan on making this a piece that I will wear on a day-to-day basis, not a once-in-awhile piece.
I also noted that it comes in ruthenium, sterling silver, carbon (?), and of course gold, but I doubt I will be able to afford the gold anyhow.
So here is what I ask of my fellow tpf'ers...
Modeling pics would be great! I would like to see this on real people, not fashion magazines. It would give me a much better perspective, I would think.
I would also love feedback about the sizes. That was quite confusing to me. I understand that there is small, medium, and large in terms of the width of the cuff, but what about the actual fit? The SA told me that there was no sizing... How can that be? One size cannot fit all. And sure enough, I was trying on the ruthenium and the silver, and there were size differences! I need clarification on that.
And lastly, what metal? I was told by someone with a ruthenium ring that it looks lovley, but wears badly. I didn't get details on that... Does anyone have any ruthenium pieces? I do plan on wearing this alot, I understand that it will get a worn patina, and that is fine. I just don't want ugly garish scratches...
Anyways, that is all for now, I would love any feedback/advice/photos that anyone on here has!

. they no longer have that one available online! They only have it available in carbon.
