A gold and iron inlay damascene cuff bracelet of checkered design with an inlaid verso, in 18k. Angela Cummings for Tiffany & Co. Signed T&Co.

Created between 1977 and 1982, this bracelet was featured in the Tiffany Blue Book and was part of Angela Cummings's finely worked and limited damascene collection that was inspired by the inlaid gold and ironwork of the Japanese shakudo tradition.

A tour de force of twentieth-century jewelry design, Angela Cummings received her artistic training in Europe, graduating with degrees in goldsmithing and gemology. She started her career in jewelry at Tiffany & Co. in 1967 and designed a collection for them under her name in 1975. She established her own company in 1984, which allowed her to retain artistic freedom and eventually expand into silver, housewares, and leather goods. Her designs are known for their fine craftsmanship, easy wearability, sporty sensibility, and use of semi-precious stones inlaid in organic or geometric patterns.
