Handmade Brass Cuff Bracelet, metal cuff bracelet, Fern design metal bracelet
This bracelet is from my line called "Ancient Colors".
This line is all handmade and formed from 16 gauge brass sheet metal. I then gave them a wonderful patina using my own recipes, so that they look like they were just excavated from an ancient archeological site! Greece, Rome, Egypt??? You decide.
These are very satisfying to design and create. As these are completely handmade, no two will ever be alike. You cannot fully control how the patina will develop, but that is what I love about using patina with brass and copper!
These are a hefty 16 gauge copper . The bracelets are formed on a mandrel. This cuff has a concave or anticlast surface--the edges are turned into each other. Then the patina is developed. Getting the perfect patina can take a couple of days. The cuff has a small fern frond nail head riveted to the middle of the cuff.
Finally, the cuffs are sealed with 3 coats of a matte sealant to preserve and protect the patina. The sealant on the inside of the cuff will eventually wear off due to contact with your skin. There is no way to avoid this. You can periodically paint the inside of your cuff with clear nail polish to avoid discoloration of your skin.
***please keep all of your Cat's Meow Jewelry out of the shower, pool, spa and hot tub** as this will affect the finishes.
PLEASE NOTE the proper way to put on a cuff bracelet!! deals You DO NOT pull it open. Place one edge of the cuff into the soft spot at the center of your underwrist. Then roll the cuff over the top of your wrist. Take off your bracelet the same way.
If you constantly pull open a cuff bracelet, you work harden and make brittle the metal at the point where the metal flexes. This will cause your cuff to eventually break at that stress point.
Made and designed with love and care by me in my Floral Park, New York studio.
Comes nicely wrapped.
