Although there were many masterful costume jewellery designers, in my opinion, none did glitzy and well-made better than Gustave Sherman. These three red cuff bracelets are a case in point. The rigid cuffs were only ever designed and made by Sherman and they stand the test of time. Set with Swarovski crystals, in japanned, rhodium plated or gold plated metals, they are decades old and sparkle with a just-new glitter.

If you want to see more of Sherman’s artistry, try the book Sherman Jewellery: The Masterpiece Collection. (Yes, that is a shameless plug.)
