Deepa Gurnani Nagini Gold Bracelet

Make a statement in the Deepa Gurnani Nagini Gold Bracelet, a serpent cuff coiled and embroidered entirely by hand in antique gold. Rows of tiny scale-like beads are worked along the body of the snake, tapering to a sculpted head set with a single amber-toned stone.

The cuff is built on a cotton base with brass detailing for structure, then finished with a soft leather backing so it curves around the wrist and sits flush against the skin. It measures 9.25 inches in length and 1.25 inches in width. Because every piece is embroidered by hand, slight variations in colour and pattern are part of its character.

Wear it high on the forearm with a bare-shouldered dress, or let it sit at the wrist against a deep red or black evening look. It needs very little beside it: simple studs and swept-back hair are all the styling this one asks for.
