I am delighted to offer this famous and rare modernist sterling silver cuff bracelet made by Ed Wiener in 1948 It is pictured on the cover of Modernist Jewelry 1930- 1960 The Wearable Art Movement by Marbeth Schon and on page 64 with a full page photo. There is also a full page photo (page 12) in "Jewelry by Ed Wiener" an Exhibition at the Fifty/50 Gallery in New York Dec 1988 - Jan 1989. Measurements: Please look closely at the photos with the ruler for measurements. The bracelet has a twist configuration. It is currently sized for a large wrist, though constructed in a manner that a jeweler could adjust it. Marked "STERLING ED. WIENER" on the inner bottom edge of the cuff Excellent Vintage Condition with some tarnish as I did not want to polish this amazing piece
I've decided it's in my best interest not to let things go too long before posting about them; therefore, a cuff tutorial! I know myself--if I let things pile up too badly, I just won't do it. See my website for an example of this :) Anyway, to the cuffs! They're based on the cuffs on this riding habit at the V&A. Mine are a little shorter, but as I am a shrimp, I tend to downscale things a bit so they look a little more in proportion on me. It took me a while to decide what style cuff I wanted, but kept coming back to this one. It is, after all, the picture that made me start thinking of a linen riding habit. Although it's wool, the close up nature of the picture gives it that linen-y look--at least to me! As as side note, in my copy of Fashion in Detail from the 17th and 18th Centuries, the buttons and lining are a bright yellow that contrasts rather prettily with the brown wool. This made me quite happy as I was looking for documentation for the blue buttons I very much wanted. I have since found a man's jacket in black with a yellow waistcoat and yellow buttonholes in Modes en miroir. This one also made me happy because the buttonholes look just like mine. See below for what I mean! And, now really on to the cuffs! I made these cuffs just from pictures, but fortunately from very good pictures. I think that if I don't have them done completely right, they're at least very close to right. All the techniques I used--edge stitching, top stitching--are known period techniques! Start with a finished sleeve. With a piece of paper sketch the shape of the cuff. Trace that onto your sleeve. You don't need to trace the top edge like I did! Use the same pattern to cut the inserts. I made them just a little longer so I could be sure they'd fit into the finished cuff. It's much easier to hem a little more than to start over! Pin around your cutting line. This is to keep the fabrics from shifting. Erase your top line if necessary :) Take a deep breath and cut! This part is rather annoying and fiddly. Turn the seam allowances under to prepare for edge stitching. Repeat for the insert. Test your insert! It's at the not very annoying to fix stage now :) Edge stitch the pieces together. I chose to use point a rabbatre sous la main because it appears to have been used on the part of the cuff you can see. The outside is topstitched and the inside is whipstitched. Here's a video I made about this: 18th Century Edging Stitch from Katherine on Vimeo. Pin the insert in and mark the buttonholes. Make the buttonholes. Press everything neatly. Get the cuff so wet you can't iron it dry. Oops :) Yes, my buttonholes are far from perfect. I can't seem to get any stitch that actually touches to look perfect. Hence my great love of the spaced backstitch and tambour embroidery. But buttonholes, embroidery, backstitches, they're all off for me. I blame the same thing that makes it near impossible for me to write neatly. After all the hand sewing practice I've had, you'd think this wouldn't be an issue! Needless to say, I'm *very* nervous about the false buttonholes down the front of the jacket, but I think those will be much better since they're not cut. Sew the cuff in. I used a spaced backstitch as it's my best looking stitch. And from the inside--I actually love the way this looks :) And the nearly finished cuff! The buttons are just placed there for effect.

Some copper pipe was about to be tossed from a construction site and my friend salvaged it and was kind enough to see if I could use it! I was so excited! I used the pipe to make this cuff and hammered it, textured it and shaped it into a twist. It is so comfortable to wear and can be made to fit any size wrist! Just use some string and measure around your wrist for approximate length. A great gender neutral piece of copper jewelry!

This shirt is fine linen trimmed with cotton lace (I didn't make the lace!). The cuffs are single bands shaped with a series of regular darts, button closed at the cuff and have fine ties to keep the turned back cuffs in check.
It isn't necessarily finished but I wore it this weekend. I handsewed the top and bottom edge and hand ruffled - mini cartidge pleating sort of- the top edge. The hand sewing on the cuffs has been finished. The blackwork on the body completed and the garment constructed with french seams. Here are…
Elven Eargear - “Starry Starry Night“ Length of Wing: 3.75“ (10.5 cm) (wing adjustable) Sculpturewear’s Elven Eargear are a flexible, copper based original creation 'earring' which wraps around the back of one's ear, then wanders 'up and about', depending on the design structure. They are supported by a standard clip on - however the weight is supported by the upper ear, not the clip, which is for balance only. Some Elven Eargear come as singles and some come as sets. Sets usually are asymmetrical to each other, but some are meant to be the same. Handmade by artisans in Toronto, Canada, this collection is created with precious metal finishes such as 22k Gold, Silver, Rose Gold and Rhodium. The copper base was chosen for its very light weight, great flexibility to open/close and shape to your specific ear curves. This is an ‘obedient’ spring construction, which stays the way you set it. Each piece must be hand created, therefore custom orders are one of a kind and will have same silhouette shape but with variable details of line and ornamentation. To find your size: - Scroll through the photos in this listing to the photo with the ruler to see how to measure your ear. - Hold ruler on the edge of the cheek that you would like the piece to go on *note, Elven Eargear is designed to fit only on the ear that it is designs for, and your ear shapes may be slightly different. - Line up the 0 with the top of your ear and look at where the bottom of your earlobe lines up as shown in photo [girl in photo would wear a Size B as her ear measures 2"]. - Find the closest size below: These pieces are flexible, so they can be manipulated to fit your ear shape. Size A = 1.5" Size B = 2" Size C = 2.5" Copy this link https://youtu.be/VaKKPpYU08A to view our instructional video or scroll to the bottom of our home page to see how easily our Eargear attaches.

Sterling, 22K by Patrik Kusek. Photo by Abby Johnston Constructed with PMC Sterling, Aura 22 hand formed and hand carved.
Sterling Silver and 23-Karat Gold We named this bracelet Hephaestus after the god of fire and the forge. He is the patron god of blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans, and sculptors, which serves as the foundation of all metallurgy. I hand forged this bracelet from sterling silver and added a river of lava down the center in 23 karat gold leaf. I used the Korean technique of Keum-boo to apply the 23 karat gold to the silver. The silver has been oxidized to give a lovely burnt patina. Opening is slight oval to accommodate the hand better when putting in on. Opening width is 66mm and the opening height is 59mm. The bracelet is 1” wide.
