Truly one-of-a-kind cuffs forged by hand in copper. These cuffs are imprinted with local leaves and flowers foraged on hikes and trips around Vancouver Island to connect the wearer to nature. Leaves, seeds and flowers are pressed and dried, before being imprinted directly into the metal.
Cuffs are oval and 7" diameter (6" plus 1" gap), but drop me a line in the order comments if you need one a little larger or smaller than average. They can also be adjusted slightly to fit (this should be only done once).
Choose between the following themes. The cuffs photographed are examples of each style, but the final result varies every time. Your cuff will be one-of-a-kind, as each dried leaf or flower can only be imprinted once.
Meadow - grasses and flowing seedheads
Fern - varieties of ferns found in BC
Leaf detail - large leaf imprints, leaving the focus on the details
Size: 38mm wide (1.5") and 178mm diameter (7")
Note that copper will oxidise when worn next to your skin, and depending on your body chemistry that discolouration can transfer to your skin. This can happen in a matter of hours or not at all. This will wash off with soap and water, and is completely normal! I apply a thin protective coating to each piece but over time this will wear off - if you'd like to know more about how to maintain your cuff, just ask. Available in sterling silver on request.
