Ooh, patents! Tiffany T cutout cuff

 Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The Tiffany T Cutout cuff was awarded the US design patent USD787362S1, titled Jewelry cuff. The patent was awarded on May 23rd 2017, to a group five co-inventors: Francesca Amfitheatrof,  Michal Dayan, Nina Martensson, Emily Morrow and Cary James.

Below, the patent Figure 1 shows a front perspective view of the design, together with two embodiments. One embodiment is a wide, yellow gold, hinged bangle, with white enamel T cutout cuffs. The other embodiment is a wide, silver, hinged bangle, with black enamel T cutout cuffs.  

Notice that the broken lines of the drawing indicate unclaimed portions of the design, so that it is just the T cutout cuffs that are claimed in this patent. In other words, the patented portions of this design actually correspond only to the T cutout black and white enameled portions of the marketed bangles.
