Q: What is the Elsa Peretti Bone Cuff and why is it iconic? A: Created by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. in the 1970s, the Bone Cuff is sculpted to follow the natural contours of the wrist. Its asymmetry and ergonomic shape make it a design classic that feels like a second skin when properly fitted.
Q: Is this cuff made for the left or the right wrist? A: Bone Cuffs are crafted in left- and right-wrist versions. When worn correctly, the curved “bump” aligns with the wrist bone on the outside of the arm. If you’re unsure which orientation this piece is, check our photos or contact us and we’ll confirm before shipping.
Q: How do I put it on without bending it? A: Position the opening at the thin side of your wrist, slide it on from the side rather than pushing from above, then rotate gently so the bump cradles your wrist bone. Avoid flexing or squeezing the cuff, as this can distort the shape and stress the finish.
Q: What wrist size will this Small fit? A: This piece is best for a wrist circumference up to approximately 15.5 cm (about 6.1 in). For accuracy, measure snugly at the narrowest part of your wrist with a soft tape; if you’re between sizes, choose the option that slides on comfortably without forcing.
Q: Can the cuff be resized or adjusted? A: We don’t recommend self-adjusting. The copper base and black finish can be marked or compromised if squeezed. If you need a minor fit tweak, speak to a professional jeweller or Tiffany Client Care for an assessment of what’s safely possible.
Q: How should I care for the black finish over copper? A: Wipe with a clean, soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing compounds, ultrasonic cleaners, and chemicals (perfume, lotions, sunscreen). Remove before showering, swimming, or exercise, and store in the dust bag/box to minimise scratches.
Q: Will the black finish show wear? A: As with any coated finish, micro‑scratches and gradual wear can develop with regular use—this is normal. If you’d like advice on refinishing or professional care, a Tiffany service specialist can evaluate options for your specific piece.
Q: Can copper cause skin discolouration? A: Copper can leave a temporary greenish mark on some skin types due to natural surface reactions, especially if the finish wears in high‑contact areas. It’s harmless and washes off with soap and water. Keeping skin dry and clean helps minimise this effect.
Q: Where is the Bone Cuff made? A: Tiffany lists Bone Cuffs in black finish over copper as made in Italy. This vintage example is consistent with that origin.
Q: What is included with this item and is it authentic? A: This cuff comes with a Tiffany box and dust bag, as listed. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts before it’s offered for sale.
