Copper Cuffs
I made some much heavier gauge copper cuffs. I tested the waters with 16 and 18 gauge sheet metal. I had to gradually mill the metal to get it through without distorting. I then got to the right pressure for the metal and leaves. So here we have some new cuffs with and without words and a leather bracelet. I've been hammering words on the outsides of some of the bracelets and adding secret messages on the inside of them as well. Just makes them a little more personalized and fun.

About Me
- wearartbyjulie
- I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
