♥ brevity is the soul of wit.

the first time i set eyes on a client's

jessica kagan cushman cuff bracelet,

i fell instantly in love.

she was wearing the now famous

"ripped off by chanel" resin scrimshaw bangle,

which was made in 2007 as a fashionable reponse

to chanel's resin lookalike,

which has since been copied and re.copied

by stores like forever 21 and aldo.

she has since made the

"ripped of by d & g" bangle,

which also makes something so wrong

look so right.

originally carved out of rare mammoth tusk and

whale bone and now offered in a less expensive resin material,

jessica kagan cushman's bracelets are likened to

modern day scrimshaw,

which is essentially a carving

of a scene or a portrait engraved on the

tusk of a walrus, or a whale's teeth and bones.

some of jessica's bracelets honor the past

by including natural studies of insects and animals,

while others celebrate what is contemporary

with quotes from popular films, witty quotes and song lyrics

that will have you wondering how someone can effectively fit

so many words on such a small surface?

are you a good witch or a bad witch?

i want to be the girl with the most cake.

i'll get you my pretty. and your little dog too!

truly fabulous people never get dressed before lunchtime.

if your ship doesn't come, swim out to it.

we'll always have paris charm bracelet.

she also makes these deliriously cheeky tote bags,

i would like one for each work day, please!

and maybe someday i will treat myself to

one of these amazing diamond cuff bracelets,

which are so very glam.
