The surface of the cuff is decorated with relief depictions of musical notes, stars, waves, martini glasses, a building on a beach with palm trees, a smiling sun, sock and buskin masks, a clapperboard, a film reel, and an ABFF logo. The ABFF logo resembles a stylized half rayed-sun with a half of an eye at the center and a film strip at the bottom. The interior of the cuff is smooth with a single stamp that reads [STERLING].
