Splendid Victoria gauntlet, an intricate repoussee work emblazoned with a textured, cascading Spanish Colonial motif. Fitted to the wrist and arm like a conquistador's armored gauntlet, this spectacular cuff never fails to create a stir. The curved, organic fleur de lys shapes in high relief against a stippled background have taken on a time-burnished glow accented by the pleated border, a textural counterpoint that invites the touch. If this cuff will fit you, snatch it up! This is Victoria at her imaginative best, a perfectly conceived, impeccably executed showstopper that will highlight any collection.
