Rare Tiffany Pieces and More in Bonhams’ Upcoming L.A. Sale

Post by PinkDiamond »

For the life of me I can't figure out what the heck I'm looking at on the cuff bracelet in the lead and second pic that's supposed to be a Capricorn zodiac cuff, so if anyone can explain what it is please help me out and clue me in. :roll:

The sapphire and diamond ring below it is lovely, but the hinged bracelet with rubies and diamonds by Cartier is the one I like best from this lineup despite the fact that it's too wide for my taste. I left the last item for you to see via the link. ;)
