How do we love thee, Bubble Cuff by Hervé Van der Straeten? For starters you’re big, bold, and better than most the bracelets we see floating out there. But second, you’re adjustable, which means you’ll be a bangle that doesn’t dangle and get in the way of everything we do. It figures that this cuff is so wonderful since Van der Straeten started off life as an engineer and then turned furniture designer, gallery owner, and jewelry creator. (Did we mention also that he shares his chic Bastille abode with Bruno Frisoni of Roger Vivier?) So fit and form and function, not to mention fashion, gets hand-hammered into brass-plated, 24-karat-gold perfection. C’est tout, folks.
