I received the JAI tiger/cherry blossom cuff -- masterwork!
First: The weight -- nice heft! A serious piece of jewelry
Second: The detail is impeccable. Like the tiger ring, the tiger on this cuff is very stylized, down to those teeth. The hand-painted cherry blossoms are the perfect color and texture, and the branches blend seamlessly down into the cuff portion. The eyes are those icy blue, as with the ring.
Third: The metalwork is fantastic. Just enough oxidation to show enough negative space and perspective, but not so much to heavily darken the piece.
Fourth: Sizing. It fits like my usual "large" size JAI cuffs, but the online description says the large is 7 inches. Not possible, as my wrist is 7 3/8 inches. More inconsistency with some of these bracelets, but I'm glad I went with Nancy Hornback's assessment and not the online description.
FIfth: The proportions of the tiger and the blossom sides are just right. Looking at this cuff in the video, you might think that this is too chunky of a cuff--but it's not. It's sleek and feminine and powerful all at once.
A stunning addition to my JAI big cat collection!

So glad I noticed your review post. I have been patiently awaiting it! I knew it would be a stunner-- a tiger AND my favorite color pink in lovely cherry blossom flowers? That, and I have always loved all things Asian and Asian-inspired. My very first crush as a young girl was on a wonderful and very handsome male waiter at my favorite Chinese restaurant, and he was-- you guessed it -- Japanese! Go figure. I adored him. His name was George, and he brought me extra umbrellas for all my drinks, and extra plastic monkeys, too. I think I was about five years old when I met him. Anyway, I find the culture of China, Japan, and Thailand fascinating.

Thanks for your kind words. I feel Asian culture intriguing also. In the midst of all the news hubbub, I've been watching NHK...Japan's national channel featuring news, features, etc. It's calming.
I really like this cuff--it's more elegant than portrayed in the video and pictures, which make it seem more awkward or clunky somehow. It's my new favorite piece of jewelry.
