J DAUPHIN vintage studded cuff bracelet, handmade in Paris in 2008 in rhodium-plated brass. The wide sculptural cuff is covered with dimensional metal studs, creating a highly textured surface and a strong architectural profile around the wrist.
The monochromatic rhodium finish places the emphasis on the repetition, scale and geometry of the studs. Light reflects differently across the raised elements as the bracelet moves, giving the otherwise industrial construction a more jewelry-like quality.
The design reflects J DAUPHIN's early exploration of punk, industrial and rock-and-roll references, translating traditional studded accessories into a substantial metal statement cuff.
This design dates to Paris, 2008 and was featured in Vogue. [If you know the exact Vogue issue/editorial, I would add it here—it makes this claim considerably stronger for a collector.]
The cuff has never been worn but has been preserved since 2008. It shows visible signs of age and storage, including surface marks and some loss of the original shine. These are consistent with the age of the piece and should be considered part of its vintage condition. Please refer closely to the photographs.
J DAUPHIN was founded in 2006 by Swedish-French designer Johanna Dauphin, who began her career with FENDI and TOD’S in Italy. Her work spans Paris, New York and Los Angeles, combining French and Italian savoir-faire with a modern rock-and-roll sensibility. J DAUPHIN has been featured in Vogue, W Magazine, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and Marie Claire and carried internationally by Bergdorf Goodman, Harvey Nichols, Lane Crawford, H Lorenzo, United Arrows, Isetan, Le Bon Marché and Matches.
