Like this deeply elegant cuff from Ann Taylor, which would be quite Ralph Lauren circa 1981 if you wore it with a crisp white button-down shirt.

I feel like they (and Banana, and Talbots) get good accessory buyers for stretches of time. They’re in a good cycle right now!
PS: Who is the “we” in “We love?” Do you have more people on board now?
Nah. Just me and the Royal We.
Yes, there’s a lot of good costume jewelry out there right now. It does seem to have seriously ramped up. I wonder if there was some shift in manufacturing capabilities to make it happen? Or just a shift in the acceptance of mixing fast-fashion apparel into everyone’s wardrobe has made costume jewelry desirable by people who wouldn’t wear it before as well? Whatever, all the better!
I love it when you can find really lovely, affordable costume jewelry – the perfect justifiable indulgence. Cheaper than new shoes, more lasting than a new lipstick.
