the Sleep Under the Stars Cuff

This piece is made entirely from my metal scrap odds and ends collection. I like to challenge myself to see what I can create from these leftovers from time to time because I often find these restraints inspire new designs I might never have thought of otherwise. That was just the case with Sleep Under the Stars Cuff, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result of this assemblage piece.

This piece pairs nicely with the Comfortable with Uncertainty Necklace, the Water + Earth Hand Beaded Necklace, and the Geo Mountain Earrings in brass and silver. 

How to measure your wrist size: Using a soft tape measure (or a piece of string that you can measure on a ruler or tape measure), measure around the wrist you will wear the cuff on. Measure right against the skin. The tape measure or string should not be loose or tight, just gently against the skin. Be sure to include the small bump of your ulna on the outside of your wrist in your measurement. This is the wrist size you will leave in the notes and I will make your cuff according to this size.

*** Brass and copper will naturally tarnish with regular wear, developing a beautiful patina over time. Sterling silver does the opposite, the more you wear it the less it will tarnish, or need polished. Regular wear will keep the silver on your new cuff looking bright and shiny, while the brass and copper darkens, and a unique contrast takes shape between the two metals. 

+ Handcrafted heavy gauge bass cuff bracelet with heavy gauge reclaimed sterling silver overlay soldered along the length of the cuff

+ Hand fabricated mountain, night sky, and crescent moon scene at the center of the cuff is made from reclaimed sterling silver and brass

+ Hand stamped reclaimed sterling silver overlay inside the cuff band reads “ I’D RATHER BE IN THE MOUNTAINS”

+ Cuff band width is ⅜” 

+ 5 ½” cuff with 1 ¼” opening 

+ Best fits wrist size 6 ¼”-6 ⅞”

+ Cuff can be sized up or down slightly with a very gentle initial squeeze to make the opening smaller, or a very gently pull to make the opening slightly larger. After this initial adjustment DO NOT squeeze the opening shut and pull it open repeatedly. You will weaken the metal and risk it breaking.
