Elsa Peretti Bone Cuff Decision/Discussion Thread

[renee_nyc]

That would make sense if there was an issue with the current batch. @Hermes Nuttynut mentioned hearing a story about a cuff breaking when the SA tried to resize it.

If it doesn’t get resolved in a week or so I will return it and then just stay on the lookout for one.

I wonder if there is a problem with this recent batch so they withdrew it from inventory. Or, they may be doing inventory for a count and it is only temporary withdrawn... who knows.

I would not worry though, Tiffany is now really pushing the Bone Cuff, so you are buying at a good time. The small/small size was once very hard to get, and it was not often not even listed as an option on the website. When I purchased mine, the SA I worked with insisted the sizes were only medium and large. She says she had never seen a small/small, hence some SAs are not aware.

I am sure you will get your small/small.

Here is my small/small. My fits nicely and I slightly squeezed it to fit tighter years ago. I hope you find one which fits. It’s such a lovely piece.

I did the same!
@renee_nyc I did the same as @MatAllston and gently kept squeezing mine ever so slightly. Mine is not as tight as her, but it fits me fine. I hope you can find one too!

If it's easy for you to get into the store and they have left small/small, it might not be a bad idea to go and try it on. This way you can see how it fits. My wrists are so small. The s/s shifts around. The opening in the back, I have it at 7/8 inch opening. I do love it but it is very expensive. I am concerned about the breakage mentioned.

So I after getting a ‘your cuff is on back order’ notice, I received another today.

This one fits better but is still a little big. It’s about 1/4 inch smaller than the last one. It’s loose but does not fly off.

I’m honestly not sure what to do.

I’d keep it. It looks fine and will not fall off for sure.

Everyone’s arm is different and this cuff is not one size fits perfect for everyone . I would stop comparing, keep this one, and enjoy it.

It looks great on you.
Mine is loose and it will naturally slide down the wrist a bit, so it will not fall off. Mine is not perfectly over the bone, and I am not splitting hairs on it. It’s the “look” you are after and this bone cuff is the bold look for sure!

Just my two cents. It sill sit differently on every arm. I would keep and enjoy it!

Mine took a bit of wearing to become comfortable. A little movement is to be expected.

To make you feel better and not think “perfect fit” because it just won’t happen… here is how I can position the cuff so it looks perfect in the first photo. But look at the second photo how far down my arm it goes if I really squish it down which I did. It's really far down.

When I wear it, it moves and falls somewhere in between. It never stays frozen over my wrist bone. There is movement.

Hope this helps you decide. It’s a gorgeous cuff and looks great on you! I vote keep!

 

[renee_nyc]

Thank you for all of your help, everyone. I’m going to keep it. I wore it yesterday and while it spins around and sits a little crookedly from time to time, it’s secure enough that it won’t fly off. I figure with warmer weather coming having it be a little loose isn’t the worst thing, plus I was able to squeeze it a little (although after the story about breakage I’m being very careful.)

Yippee! I am glad you are keeping it!

I squeeze mine tight often too when it moves and when I think about it. I don’t think it makes a huge improvement, but I think maybe over the years it has gotten a tiny tiny bit smaller, not much. More a mental thing for me probably.

And yes, I agree with you on warm weather…mine is loose, and it would annoy me if it fit snug in the summer.

Congrats to you on your gorgeous Bone Cuff!

Tiffany’s can also heat it in store and then safely squeeze it tighter. They took mine in the back twice to do so when I bought mine.

 

[renee_nyc]

They have a new policy and have stopped doing that. I asked for that service with the first cuff I bought and the manager said it was a decision made after Elsa Peretti’s passing to not make any changes to the design. TBH it sounds like a convenient excuse for a policy change by their new owners.

I’d love to see a few modeling shots of how you use it to enhance an outfit…if you’re up for it. it’s definitely a show stopper.

I’m traveling right now and didn’t bring it with me but I absolutely will. It’s a mesmerizing piece!
