Step into vintage opulence with this signed Lizpaiacios © S.F. jeweled cuff bracelet — a breathtaking example of early San Francisco studio craftsmanship by designer Liz Palacios.
Handcrafted in etched floral brass, this statement cuff features an elaborate design of roses and leaves pressed into the metal, giving it a warm, antiqued golden patina. The centerpiece radiates with regal color — royal blue glass cabochonssurrounded by a luminous mix of emerald, light green, and sapphire-blue rhinestones, each one individually prong-set into an ornate filigree floral medallion.
Each cabochon glows with depth and brilliance, creating a stunning contrast against the detailed brasswork. Measuring approximately 5½ inches in inner circumference with a 1½-inch opening for adjustability, this cuff commands attention with its 2-inch band width and 2 × 2-inch jeweled centerpiece.
The interior bears the authentic early hallmark “LIZPAIACIOS © S.F.” — a rare, hand-tooled signature variant used in limited early San Francisco production before the hallmark evolved to Liz Palacios. This subtle variation identifies it as an original small-batch studio piece from the designer’s early era, prized by serious collectors.
