and is for a pair of copper cuffs as shown, finish of your choosing - Plain / natural copper or flame painted. The flame painted finish has a light layer of Renaissance Wax over the outside to help protect the finish.

These are usually made to order.

Sizes are

Medium (20mm x 0.8mm), Narrow (8mm x 0.8mm) and Thick (3.5 x 1.8mm)

Medium and Narrow have natural leaves imprinted into the outer surface, Thick has leaf stamps punched into the outer surface

See my notes below about wrist sizing. If you would like one of these to be made in a close fit, please measure your wrist circumference, snugly and note it. If you have an existing cuff that fits you perfectly, then measure the diameter, and also the gap. Tell me these sizes if you have them when placing your order.

Copper will change colour as it ages, and, will quite probably leave a green mark on your skin when you remove it. This usually washes off easily, but if you are choosing this for it's traditional purpose of assisting with /alleviating the symproms of arthritis, you need the copper to be against your skin. (Please see the additional information section regarding this.

I've given this particular piece a colur on the outside, which I have sealed, to provide a level of protection. (I use liver of sulphur for this, neutralising and sealing it with sodium bicarbonate - aka baking soda- and Renaissance Wax, Please see the Additional Info section)

NOTES:
Wrist vary.
Small tends to be about 6-6.5 inches (15-16.5cm), medium 6.5-7.5 inches (16.5-19cm), large 7.5-8.5 inches (19-21.5cm).

All my silver is now bought as certified recycled eco-silver, made from 100% scrap / recycled silver which has been fully refined to ensure it is of the same quality as traditional sterling, but of course without the environmental impact of mining it. This is not the case with the copper as i have yet to find a source.

Sterling Silver will eventually oxidise or tarnish. It's a natural process that can be slowed down by regular wear and by keeping unworn items away from the atmosphere. If you leave your jewellery out on display, this oxidisation will be faster. You can polish up your items, with a soft cloth, some silver polish, or a buffing cloth such as Town Talk, which is readily available from any high street jewellers in the UK

Fine silver is 99.9% silver, and because of this the tarnish rate is much, much slower. Again, a buff should do the job for polishing it back up. If I have patinated your silver already, be gentle when buffing!

Each piece should stand up to regular wear, but , as with all jewellery, please remove it before washing, using chemicals or applying perfume etc

Apply body lotion and perfume a few minutes before putting on your jewellery to help slow down tarnish

The sterling silver used in these items was sold to me by my bullion dealer ass certified recycled.

he gemstones I use have been sold to me by reputable dealers as untreated (unless stated specifically in the listing). They are a natural, organic creation from the earth and each one will be slightly different. You can see examples of this on my Facebook page.
I select the stones that I think go together best for each project, hence my comments that each item is individual.
Returns - standard UK distance selling rules apply, which is for a return and refund (excluding delivery) of items that are unsuitable within 14 days, or of course if they arrive damaged. Exclusions from this standard legislations are for bespoke pieces and for items of a 'personal nature' which generally means items for a piercing.

So, in summary - Can I return my piece if I don't like it, or it doesn't fit?

I'm happy to have you return your item, if you do so promptly, with it's original packaging, and it's unworn in the original condition. However unless it was faulty, I can't absorb the postage - if you are returning an item that had postage included within it, for a reason other than it being faulty, there will be a restocking fee of £5 representative of an element of the postage and packing costs. If you are returning any of my other items, I will refund you for the jewellery only, not the postage paid. Please contact me before returning a piece so I can advise you which level of postage you need to use so you are insured against it being lost by Royal Mail
If you place an order, I aim to have it in the post within 2 business days, unless it's made to order, in which case the current lead in times are listed within the item description - usually within a week.

Delivery - I use Royal Mail, and charge the cost of the post for an item; Currently I have 3 bands of postage pricing; for items below £20 in value,; for items between £20 and £50 and for items between £50 and £250. If you buy multiple items, the total value will dictate the postage cost. This is so that they are insured against loss or damage in transit.

Everything fits in a large letter box, so it will fit securely through your letter box.

Postage to Australia - Jewellery is prohibited from import

Jewellery is on Australia Post's prohibited list. This means I CAN NOT sent it directly to you in Australia without describing it incorrectly on the customs form and risking your order being confiscated.
If you are ordering a gift for someone elsewhere, I will be delighted to post directly to them, or, if you are happy to take the chance of your item being held at customs we'll give it a go. Please send me a message either before placing or within your order
I apologise for the disappointment that this has caused you.
The information regarding this is on the UK Royal Mail website here -

Copper bracelets have been used for generations as a traditional folkloric method of reducing joint inflammation and pain resulting from arthritis.

I have no evidence to support the efficacy of this, but having been asked to make some pieces of jewellery from copper for a few customers living with arthritis, I have listed a selection on my website.

Wearing unsealed copper next to your skin will generally mean that the rubbing of the copper will leave a staining on your skin. The intensity and duration of this varies from person to person, and is generally able to be washed off easily. My bangles and rings come with a Renaissance Wax coating on the outside, to slow down the oxidisation, but I do not apply this as standard to the inside of the piece.

If, however, you would like me to apply it internally, please tell me at check out, and I'll do so.
How to Measure for Bangle Size

Cut a long strip of card (cereal packs are perfect for this) about a centimetre wide and stick some sellotape to one end so it overhangs a little

Hold your hand as if you were putting on a bangle. Bring all of your fingers together with your thumb and little finger touching.

Take the strip of card and wrap it round your hand at the widest point and stick it together

This will give you a dummy bangle.

Trim most of the excess card, and check that the resulting hoop of card can be moved onto your wrist and off, without it tearing. If it’s too loose, re-stick it a little more snugly. If it’s too tight, loosen it a little.

Once you are happy with the fit, remove it and cut it in two

Measure the length between the two cuts in millimetres and note it down. Be precise

This is the size of bangle you need.
Everything is made using sterling silver. Many pieces are unique and one of a kind items, some are ranges.
Bullion (ie raw precious metal) is expensive and increases in price regularly.
I've decided that rather than increase the price of all my old stock to reflect this, I will just update the new pieces to reflect the cost of the metal when I bought it. This is why you will find some spinner rings, for example at different price points.
