These cuffs are 3/4"wide, and are painted with heat to get the color. I have sealed the tops of these to help protect the patina. Because they are all created by hand, they are all a little different. These patterns cannot not be reproduced, so there is no picking a certain design with these. They are all gorgeous! That is the beauty of handcrafted Jewelry.
This lovely copper cuff starts its life as a solid sheet of copper. It is cut to size, sanded and heat treated to temper the metal. The pattern is then added and it is heat treated again. Then the body is formed and cut out and attached to the cuff along with the stone set. Finally it is formed and patina added, cleaned up, and ready for you!
To avoid stressing the metal from constant opening and squeezing shut- adjust to fit your wrist then turn opening to the side to remove and put on.
Wear copper and benefit from all its great properties.
Copper and Brass- The Magic Metals
If tradition is to believed, these metals have healing properties. Copper is allegedly a strong conductor of energy, and an aid for exhaustion. This makes sense as it is used for electrical wiring. Copper is also supposed to detoxify the body, drawing the toxins from your system through the skin where the copper is worn. These therapeutic properties are evidenced by oxidation, turning your skin green when the piece is not sealed. I have been told by countless customers, that it does indeed relieve arthritis pain. Not only does Brass have the same benefits as copper, but it is also said to assist in healing the skeletal structure, and is conducive to spiritual and mental healing, self-discipline, and strength. Recently it has been discovered that most germs cannot live for more than five minutes on copper versus 72+hours on stainless steel!
