Daily treat - Powerful goddess cuff


"I love this cuff! It has such a great raw, rustic feel to it. It's very powerful & dramatic!!! 

This is the smaller version (less wide) than my usual signature cuff design. 
I started with a sheet of copper & sawed out the wavy, abstract design by hand. Then I soldered pieces of hammered copper & tons of fine silver rounds (granulation technique) to the piece to create a focal. I create these little rounds by melting the pure silver ( .999) into little balls one by one. Rich patina on the copper creates gorgeous swirls of color and a burnished look. Width of band is 2 1/8" at widest and size is adjustable to fit most. Although this piece is substantial it is easy to adjust by bending the band open or closed. Size will fit anywhere between about 6.5- to about 7 3/4. My wrist measures 6" and I can wear this size by just bending it around my wrist. If you would like me to take the size down for you just let me know. Copper has been sealed to protect finish. Thanks for looking!"
