The Victorian era is without a doubt, the most influenced, and influential eras of antique and estate jewelry. The period of Victoria's mourning included large, dark, somber, yet dramatic jewelry, with a lot of black or dark stones golds.

This cuff goes with absolutely any look and features vulcanite, also known as Ebonite or hard rubber. Vulcanite, like gutta-percha, is naturally dark in color making it an ideal choice for use in mourning jewelry. Over time, and if exposed to heat and light, Vulcanite may be identified by a sulfurous bloom that gives the piece a dusty, khaki color. A timeless and versatile piece, this cuff is perfect for any wrist, male or female!
