Size guide

Note: primer color varies between silver and gold from batch to batch. If you'd prefer one, leave a note at checkout.

Copper

Pure solid wire. Every piece begins as a single coil.

Brass

Spent .40 S&W shells from American ranges. Cleaned, polished, and finished by hand.

Finish

Polished to a soft sheen. Nothing sealed. Copper darkens with wear; brass holds its shape.

Made the
slow way.

Each cuff passes through the hands four times.

01 Step 01

Twist

The work begins with solid copper twisted to a specific gauge. The twist is deliberate and even, never tight. Copper that has been forced will eventually fail.

02 Step 02

Cut

Each strand is brought to length at the bench. Every cuff begins from the same coil and is measured to the same gauge.

03 Step 03

Cap

Two spent .40 S&W casings are cleaned, polished, and seated at each end. Two days pass before the cuff can be shaped.

04 Step 04

Form

With the casings set, the cuff is bent by hand to the shape of the wrist. The curve is left open so it slips on without forcing.

Built to age well.

Care

Copper darkens naturally over time. To restore brightness, polish gently with a soft cloth and a dab of copper polish or lemon juice. Let it patina or keep it bright. Both are correct.

Fit

No clasp. Widen the opening gently to slip over the wrist, then close back to a comfortable curve. Measure your wrist circumference to choose your size.

Shipping

Shipped from the United States. Orders ship within one to three business days.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

Does copper tarnish over time?

Yes, gently. Copper will deepen in color with wear and develop a warm patina. If you prefer it bright, wipe occasionally with a soft cloth and a dab of copper polish. If you prefer it dark, leave it alone. Both are intended.

Is each piece really handmade?

Yes. Every cuff is shaped, joined, and finished by hand at the bench. Small variations between pieces, in the curve and in the brass tone, are part of how we make them, not flaws.

How does sizing work?

Measure your wrist with a soft tape, just below the bone, and pick the size that contains your measurement: Small (15–16.5 cm), Standard (16.5–18 cm), or Large (18–19.5 cm). The cuff is open and can be adjusted gently by hand if you need a closer fit.

How long does shipping take?

Orders ship within one to three business days from San Francisco via tracked USPS Priority. Domestic delivery typically takes 3–5 business days. International orders ship via DHL Express, 5–9 business days.

Can I return it?

Yes. 30 days, full refund, no questions. We just ask that the cuff comes back in the condition it shipped in. Return shipping is on us for U.S. orders.
