The new black bone cuff by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany's is sure to become an instant classic, much like her original one in sterling silver.

Elsa first debuted her organic designs on Halston's runway in 1969 and in 1974, when Tiffany's was looking for "someone who could make jewelry that women could wear with jeans and sweaters as well as their ballgowns," Halston introduced her.  Vogue would write, "that her creations were so simple and so sensuous and so right for our times, that to own an Elsa Peretti has become the goal."  Diane von Furstenberg said, "She (Elsa) was the one who brought a totally new concept into the jewelry field, making things you want to touch and hold."

The Elsa Peretti black bone cuff is officially added to my "lust list."
