The big-cat head is a motif borrowed straight from high jewellery, and it is the boldest thing in this collection. This anti tarnish bracelet sets a leopard head in small clear stones at the front of a patterned link band, so the animal appears to grip the wrist rather than sit on top of it. It is a confident piece and it is not trying to be subtle, which is exactly the appeal. The anti-tarnish coating keeps the gold sharp around the modelling of the head, where a lesser finish would blur the detail as it dulled.
The head is sculpted rather than flat, with raised brows, small rounded ears and a defined muzzle, and it is set across its upper surface with tiny stones that follow the contours instead of flattening them. Dark accents mark the eyes, which is what gives the face its focus; without them the head would read as an abstract shape. The band behind it is built from short patterned links rather than a solid bar, so the bracelet/bangle has some flex and a texture that contrasts with the smooth modelling of the head. The cuff is open at the back and slides on.
Wear it alone, always. A motif this strong needs an empty wrist and a plain sleeve, and anything beside it turns the look crowded. It is at its best with solid colours, particularly black, cream and deep red, and with western clothing or simple Indian wear rather than heavily worked fabric. Keep earrings small and let the bangle be the only statement you are making.
Evenings out, parties and dinners, and for anyone who finds floral and traditional motifs too soft. It photographs unusually well, which matters if you post what you wear.
A sculpted head has far more crevices than a flat band, and that is where residue collects and dulls the detail. Wipe it with a dry soft cloth after every wear and work gently around the ears, brows and muzzle with a clean dry makeup brush. Keep perfume and sanitiser off it. Never soak it, since water sits in the link band and in the modelling. Store it alone in its pouch.
