Copper and Garnet bangle, dainty bracelet

This modern copper bangle is unapologetic in it’s simplicity! Very comfortable to wear with a touch of sparkle with 9 micro faceted Garnet stones.

Made with very thick 8 gauge wire, I start by hand shaping the piece and then begin the long process of carefully hammering the copper wire all the way round, so that it is evenly shaped. I pay particular attention to the ends, so that they splay outwards. Next I add texture to to design, meticulously working my way around the whole length. The hammering not only adds detail, but it also hardens the piece into shape.

Once the shaping of the bracelet is complete, I begin filing and sanding, so that the ends are perfectly smooth and comfortable when against the skin. I then secure the stones in place. Once it is finished, the cuff is tumbled, to clean and polish it and then hand polished, with an anti tarnish agent, to bring it to a high shine.

The bangle measures 1/8” wide with a 7 1/2” inner circumference.

This item comes in a jewellery box.
