Forged Cuff Bracelet

 

What cuff bracelet can be more timeless than the simple silver cuff bracelet? This forged bracelet comes in two different weights. One is heavy gauge, which is very sturdy and substantial in heft. The other is a lighter weight gauge for those who don’t want to feel like they’re wearing heavy on their arm, and can be formed with your hand to fit your arm perfectly.

 

When I forge these bracelets, I use a hammer that is called a chasing hammer. One head is large, allowing more accuracy when striking chasing tools, and on the other end is a round ball shape, which daps the metal with dimples. The metal must be annealed (softened) anywhere from 2-4 times when forging, then once again before being bent into shape.

 

Materials: Sterling silver

 

Size: Diameter 7-1/4” x 3/4” Other sizes available upon request.

 

Price: $110 for heavy weight, $90 US dollars for light weight
