This is what I found on the white bone cuff
"Iconic and extremely rare, this Elsa Peretti bone cuff designed for Tiffany & Co. was made from walrus ivory in the 1970's.
The name refers to the shape of the cuff, designed to be worn on the right wrist and to mimic the wrist bone. Very few were made in ivory but they were worn on the runway by Halston models. "

Thanks for the information, so I guess it was ivory after all! We've certainly had a change in heart when it comes to deeming which materials are appropriate for us to use in luxury goods in recent years...even into the sixties and seventies Hermes would make bags out of ELEPHANT and WHALE skin and coats with real leopard fur were not uncommon! Yikes! Now snake skin (which is relatively unassuming) is banned for sale in the state of California...what along way we have come.

Def one of my fave Tiffany pieces. I plan on buying the large like sky queens and two of the smalls, I know it's extreme but I believe I can pull off the double handed look. One day I'd loooove to have the gold versions as well!

I still think the same "change of heart" might happen to diamonds, I often feel iffy about buying diamond jewelry in other parts of the world. I think moissanite might become bigger. Lol at me being all philosophical :laugh:

I love the idea of two cuffs and a few years back bought the left and right cuff in gold-I never wear them! This thread is inspiring me.

So I went to the san Francisco tiffany's today, and I decided that I love the small and the large cuff. For some reason, I am not a fan of the medium. But I think I am going to end up getting the small, because I want to wear it to work and anytime. I LOVE the large one though!
And I think I am goi g to get it in sterling silver.
All depends on my tax return... Se will see!!!

I was just browsing on the Tiffany website and I realised that my cuff is the left arm version and I am right handed! Eek, does it really matter that I have been wearing it on the wrong hand? I always wear a watch so there is no way that I can wear it on my left wrist.

I don't think it matters. As long as it is comfortable!!!
