Cuff bracelets have been around since ancient times, notably in Egypt and Assyria, where men also wore very wide bracelets decorated with rosettes. Then time, and above all fashion, caused them to disappear. The 1970s and 1980s marked a turning point. Gold was shining! Hairstyles were inflated by perms, earrings were made to match the fullness of the hair and arms were adorned. Nothing was too big! The bracelet shown here is from this period, but it has a special feature... It has an exemplary finish and is absolutely chic.
