Perfect for your Fall/Autumn wardrobe, this cuff bracelet features a gorgeous vintage style golden brass oak leaf that is soldered to 3mm wide brushed sterling silver. The entire cuff is shaped, formed, then tumbled for several hours to add strength.

Using a safe, non-toxic form of etching, the leaf is brought to a lovely golden matte finish, and the sterling to a soft satin. For a touch of shine and a subtle contrast, the leaf is selectively sanded and finished with burnished high-points. A matte fixative is applied to help prolong the finish. As with all brass, a warm patina will form over time with a little love from a polishing cloth now and then.

Leaf measures approx. 5.5 cm long. Bracelet shown in size small (6″).

Please specify size during checkout. If no size is given, medium will be sent by default.

Small: 6″

Medium: 7″

Large: 8″

*PLEASE NOTE that I only use solder that does NOT contain lead or cadmium in my soldered pieces, and a natural non-toxic pickle to clean the metal after using the torch. All of my raw metals (wire, sheet, etc.) are recycled/reclaimed metal. When oxidizing, I also use liver of sulfur. No harsh chemicals.*
