Eddie Borgo’s forte may be urban baubles with a bite, but having primarily worked with crystals, silver, and gold-plated metal since launching his eponymous range in 2008, it would seem the designer is embracing the even finer things in life—when it comes to materials, anyway. Tapped by the World Gold Council to create some one-of-a-kind pieces, Borgo has made his first foray into precious metals with a set of 18K gold cuffs. The wares are a decadent fusion of Borgo’s best-selling bracelets, including his cone bangles. Naturally, the designer’s got big plans for his new baubles’ debut—amfAR will be featuring the pieces at a Carine Roitfeld-styled fashion show during its event in Cannes next week. Priced at a cool $65,000 for the pair, the cuffs are available for purchase now, exclusively on net-a-porter.com.
