Sacred Heart Cuff Bracelet Jesus Antique Silver Sculptural Vintage Paris
Designer: J DAUPHIN
The Sacred Heart Cuff is a rare archive piece, handcrafted in Paris and finished in antiqued silver plating over brass. The wide domed band carries a figure of Christ raised in high relief across the front, shown from the front on one side and from the back on the other as the band curves around, framed by a twisted rope border. The silver has aged to a deep iridescent patina. The opening measures 23 mm / 0.9 in and the diameter 53 mm / 2.1 in.
The Sacred Heart is the oldest image of love that costs something, the heart shown open and given rather than kept, carried for compassion and for the courage to stay open when it would be easier to close. That the figure appears both front and back around the band is the point: it does not turn away, it is present from every side, and to wear it on the wrist is to keep that presence against the pulse.
