I was in Barcelona a few days ago and the SA showed me the new split bone ring. It comes in sterling silver and yellow gold. They were cool and edgy.

Hi! I love wearing the Peretti cabochon ring with my small Bone cuff.
I have the ring in the turquoise and also black jade. There are two width sizes for these rings (15.5mm and 19mm). I have the larger 19mm width in both stones.
I love the look, and it goes well with the Bone cuff. It's clean yet bold, but not flat like a metal band ring. The cabochon style is also soft and rounded, so while bold, it looks feminine and "curvy", like the Bone cuff.
I am not a fan of wearing a flat metal wedding band ring with the Bone Cuff as I think it takes away from both pieces (e.g. the aesthetics are off to me).

I dug up two old photos so you can visualize the ring worn with bold bracelets. I have both the 15.5mm and 19mm in the turquoise, and I much prefer the larger 19mm size. The smaller 15.5mm one, to me, is neither here nor there (not a dainty ring look nor a bold ring look). I never wear the 15.5mm turquoise version.
Hope this helps.

I'm looking forward to this too. Saw it on the website the night before. Did you happen to try it on?
The cuff is too much for me but have been looking for a silver ring to match when I wear silver.

Hi! This will be a tough ring to guess. Thick metal band rings are where you need the exact length. The reason is because the ring is so tall/thick.
I prefer it on the fourth finger as it's a bold look, and I like bold rings on the fourth finger.
To me, the fourth finger shows off bold rings the best while still keep the hands looking nice.
However, if your fingers are short on the lower half of the fourth finger (the bottom where rings land), the ring won't look good. It will make the finger look even shorter.
This photo below (from one of the photos you posted above) is what I mean. The ring in my opinion is too tall as it is almost to her knuckle. There needs to be a bit of skin showing below the knuckle to keep the finger looking thin. This person has thin fingers, yet because the ring is too tall for her finger, the ring just looks like a big fat Band-Aid to me.
To give another an example of what I am talking about, here is a photo of a nice fit (photo is from Tiffany website). You can see there is skin showing below her knuckle. This person's fingers actually seem thicker than the above person's fingers. However, the ring is much more gorgeous on her because the lower half of her finger is probably longer, so she can wear a taller/thicker ring. Therefore, with the same ring, there is skin showing below her knuckle because her fingers are longer. The eye can still see the beautiful line of her finger. It looks like an artistic ring on her, not a wide Band-Aid.
If the fourth finger does not work, my second choice is on the middle finger, like the photo below. I am not a fan of big, bold silver rings on the index finger as I find that look a bit aggressive, moto-chic, which is not my aesthetic.
I hope that made sense. That's just my opinion of course. Jewelry style & fit is 100% preference, so it's what you love.
Hope that helps you decide! You could order two sizes to try it on your fingers and keep the size you like best. Tiffany online service is excellent.
This is the type of ring that you must try on in person before buying. Because it is so wide, you need long fingers and you have to be able to bend your fingers comfortably. Know that you need to size up on wide rings. Go try it on and report back.
I own the bone cuff in all 3 widths. While the large bone cuff is the best design IMO and makes one heck of a statement, it does get warm in there! I avoid wearing it on warm days, which is a bummer because it is when wearing short sleeves or sleeveless tops and dresses that it can really be shown off. I never give any thought to which rings I wear with my bone cuffs.
Agree on all points with @BigAkoya. Glad to see I'm not the only one who is very particular about placement and sizing of bold rings on fingers.
@caruava - if you try various sizes on in person, I recommend taking photos of them on your fingers as well. I find this often helps me determine where a ring may look best on the various fingers of my hand.
Personally, I think the ring looks too "matchy matchy". Might work for something that's more subtle like a love bracelet and ring, but with something so bold I'd rather see it mixed up.
Hello! Thank you so much for your insightful response. I read it in the morning before heading to work.
Your comments around the skin and knuckles made a lot of sense. Like you, I like bold rings on the 4th finger. However there was something about the screenshot that I shared that just didn't look right. You nailed the reason why. I wouldn't have worked it out on my own.
I had intention of strolling down to Tiffany during lunch but just didn't have to the time step away. I will order online. I have signed up for a notification for a size for my index and middle finger (both sized same), larger than my regular size due to the width. I don't usually do online but this is a lower value and service is great as you said, online and in store. If I visit a store before then I'll go try it out but unlikely for a few weeks.
Thank you again for the detailed reply.
Agreed and thank you. I used to have Hermes CDC's, the XL wide clic clacs and Kelly dogs in my early 20s. Not for me, too hot as you said. Plus I can't handle such a large item on my wrist anymore. Ask me again in 10 years if my taste changes!
I'll report back. Cheers.
I agree with you, it's not my style to wear both (the cuff is not to my personal taste). I have my hardwear bracelet in silver in mind to silver-match to. I was considering the hermes galop on silver as a bold piece, but I like the look of this better.
All this talk of the Bone Cuff and Peretti inspired me go to the Tiffany website to check out new Peretti pieces (I'm a huge Peretti fan).
This may be old news to many of you, but in case some of you, like me, were not aware...
The Bone Cuff now comes in six sizes. Wow! When I bought my Bone Cuff, sizes were very limited, and the Small was super hard to find.
Here are the sizes below for the Small Bone Cuff. I quickly checked the Medium Bone Cuff, and it is also offered in the same six sizes. This cuff is so popular and beloved! Bone Cuffs for everybody!
I really love the look of two Small Bone Cuffs, each worn on one wrist. I wear a chunky watch on my left wrist, so that look doesn't work for me. However, I think it's super gorgeous. Here is the link to the Bone Cuff page with some modshots for inspiration:
