Steinberger Studio Mod Bubblegum Pink Tortoise Laminated Rhodoid Sandwich Cuff Bracelet Petite Vintage Sizing
Materials and Features:
Heat-Fused Rhodoid "Sandwich" Lamination: A sophisticated dual-layer construction featuring a translucent faux-tortoise top layer permanently fused to a "Bubblegum Pink" under-layer. This proprietary high-pressure process utilizing premium French cellulose acetate (Rhodoid) creates a seamless, single-unit transition with zero delamination.
Atmospheric Pigment Diffusion: The tortoiseshell layer exhibits intentional "blurred" pigment lines—a high-labor technique mastered in the mid-1960’s to mimic the organic diffusion of natural tortoise shell. When illuminated by the "Glow-Base" pink under-layer, the Rhodoid displays an extraordinary three-dimensional depth.
Encased "Amber" Particulate Inclusions: A rare forensic "treasure" featuring pigment flecks (Jelly Shards) trapped between the pink and tortoise layers. These particulate inclusions are the definitive "Material DNA" of a boutique studio environment where artisanal pours were hand-managed.
Wide Modernist Silhouette: A substantial 2” wide band that captures the bold, sculptural energy of the mid-century Parisian studio era. The piece features perfectly flush terminals, confirming the structural stability and "snappy" molecular memory of high-grade Rhodoid.
Type: Wide-band open cuff designed for a super-petite or child-sized wrist.
