Thank you for the replies :)
The Cuff is quite heavy, if I'm not mistaken it is close to 100 grams. It is comfortable once it is on, but like the others said, it is hard to put on and take off.
It's a little loose on my wrist (like you can see on the last pic) but overall it doesn't look too big on me.
I just wish there is a way to adjust it.

I've had the small silver bone cuff for a few years and it's still one of my jewelry staples. They're all stunning, but I found the small the best for my arm/body size and my wardrobe. Easily goes from the workplace to going out - sorry for the crappy iPad picture.

I hope you guys still read this thread.. I found a cuff I wanted to get, but I am worried about the hallmark?

It's hard to find information about the bone cuffs in general, so I don't even know where to start? The one I am looking at doesn't have the Peretti signature in it and I have seen other older ones that don't have the signature either. But I haven't seen a hallmark like the one I am looking at.

The hallmark is like this:

TIFFANY & CO.
(C) PERETTI 1978
STERLING (925) ITALY

I am hoping this post is okay to stay here in the bone cuff thread.

Thanks guys.

I have several cuffs but none that date back to 1978. Sorry I can't be of any help.

Thanks for replying.

I am going to pass on it since I can't find enough info. It seems really difficult to get info on the bone cuff history and if the style has evolved and what the hallmarks were.

Are the cuffs even faked?

That I don't know for sure but I suspect that if money can be made from them, someone will produce counterfeit ones. There are some legit jewelry sites that sell vintage pieces.

I have one from 1975, bought it from eBay and I brought it to the Tiffany's store to have it polished. So, I'm pretty sure it is authentic.

it has:

PERETTI TIFFANY&CO
(C) ITALY 1975
STERLING 925

I hope it helps

Thank you, I have seen a hallmark like that on Google images (maybe it was your cuff!). Have you tried on the newer bone cuffs in comparison to the older ones? I am wondering if the older cuffs are smaller fitting (they seem to look like it in photos but it's hard to know).

I have not tried the newer bone cuffs, but the one I have is pretty small. I need to wiggle it in a certain way in order to put it on, and I only have a 6 inch wrist. (mine is left cuff)

My wrist is 5.75 inches.
I am thinking the new ones may be too big and I should go for the older ones, but then again the hallmarks worry me because I have no idea how to know if it's authentic.

I have been diligently searching for months now... starting to feel burnt out, haha.
