First created in the 1970s, Elsa Peretti’s bone cuff for Tiffany & Co has certainly stood the test of time, thanks to its sleek, modern design that seems to never get old. After four decades in existence, it seems like a safe investment, don’t you think? Prices range from $395 for a small cuff in ruthenium (from the platinum family) or black carbon finish over copper styles, to upwards of $23,000 for a solid 18 karat gold version in size large.
That means that this is certainly an item for the bucket list, but you can certainly start fantasizing about what style, size, and wrist (choose from right or left) you’d get, starting now! This cuff really looks amazing with a variety of looks, however I’ve put together some top trends for 2014 (silky blouses, pearl jewelry, mint bags, printed pants) to help transition the cuff into this year.

- Lanvin S/S 2009 Collection
Alber Elbaz elevated the theme of the classic college toga party to the realm of high fashion in his Spring collection for Lanvin, by taking the look of a messy twisted and tied sheet and reinventing it as perfectly draped, one shoulder dresses in colorful stain and chiffon fabric. Nothing in this collection was simple, yet nothing was over the top either. The draping of these pieces, along with ruching, ballooned sleeves and hourglass waists (similar to Calvin Klein’s abstract collection), as well as the contrasting colors decorated and updated ordinary styles like the little black dress.
- Hermès S/S 2009 Collection
Originally, us trendy New York fashionistas thought cowboy hats and fringe belonged solely as a Halloween costume, or on our mid-west cousin Sally. However, the minute we saw veterans Stephanie Seymour and Naomi Campbell walk down the cactus strewn runway in Jean-Paul Gaultier’s Wild West creations, we couldn’t help but fall in love. As only Hermès could achieve with this theme, there was nothing tacky or cliché about the collection. Models donning black cowboy hats and riding gloves, and dark aviators looked like chic bandits ready to rob a bank or win a shootout. Even in a delicate and revealing red gown, Naomi Campbell looked fierce enough to intimidate any tough wrangler. We were drooling over the fringed Birkin and signature Hermès suitcases in snakeskin and zebra prints that helped add a dose of Parisian chic to this wild rodeo show.
