If tangerine is the color of the year…then its first cousin…coral is enjoying the extended limelight. Fabrics are covered with coral elements…in all colors, and coral is also a popular design element in jewelry. I was drawn to this cuff by Aurelie Biderman because they are not using ‘real’ coral…but an enameled metal in a [...]
