New Shoes Cure The Blues; Does This Bracelet Make Me Look Fat; If You Have To Ask You Can’t Afford It...

The latest bit of frivolity, wit and wisdom - how wise is the last statement (!) – to hit the fashion accessories scene is the fresh and unique work of Jessica Cushman.

Her fabulous scrimshawed antique ivory bangles (that are made in limited editions so get them while you can) feature quotes, phrases and sayings from movies, literature and in some cases, New York graffiti.

Made from mammoth ivory (derived from animals that died over 10k years ago so it’s free from all regulations that apply to elephant ivory) and featuring scrimshaw (historically practiced by sailors on long journeys depicting ships, women, whaling scenes etc), Cushman combines a traditional craft with modern wit.

Stack them for a serious statement or layer one or two with other gold bangles.
