Hand-Forged Copper Cuff
Unique copper cuff, hand-forged from beginning to end from a sheet of pure copper.
One of a kind.
Created from heavy ml copper, yet will easily mold to a specific wrist size via the warmth of a gentle hand applying light pressure.
The techniques used: a combination of torch/annealed fold-form & chase hammered for texture, then patinated with liver of sulphur (creating the black).
Though you can see the blue patina grow and flourish on the copper, the cuff’s been coated to resist tarnish to protect skin from benign discoloration copper may leave due to the acidity of your skin. My choice is professional, environmentally friendly, Everbrite Protecta Clear.
Cuff measures 2.5” x 2.25” at the opening, which is 1”. Fits med./med. lg. wrists easily.

Fold forming allows for a great deal of creativity and spontaneity in the design process, as the metal responds dynamically to each fold and manipulation. The technique is appreciated for its ability to produce unique and organic shapes in jewelry and other metal artworks. The process includes annealing with a torch, folding, unfolding, texturizing with a hammer or other tools, on the sheet metal that will become jewelry.
