Rare Cuff bracelet

£1,500

A wide, open-cuff bracelet featuring an intricate floral relief design. Crafted in high-relief gold-tone metal with a heavy textured finish, the piece is embellished with multiple inset imitation pearls and a central CC logo motif. The architecture of the cuff is defined by its substantial volume and scalloped organic edges.

This cuff is an exercise in the physics of light. The “ornate” floral texture is engineered to break up direct reflections, creating a soft, flickering glow that mimics the diffused light of a cathedral. To travel with this piece is to share a part of a road with an object that possesses a beautiful, deep-gold provenance—a record of a shared history between the wearer and the environment. It acts as a luminous anchor, providing a sense of permanence and “visual silence” that frames the more emotionally charged items in the collection.
