Two Bead Styles, Two Colors, One Bold Design: This cuff features a dynamic combination of crystal AB spike beads and turquoise tube beads—creating visual interest through contrasting shapes AND colors.
Crystal AB Spike Beads (Dagger Beads):
Turquoise Tube Beads:
Why This Combination Works: The rainbow-iridescent spike beads provide edgy drama and maximum sparkle, while the turquoise tube beads add sleek sophistication and ocean-inspired color. Together, they create a balanced design that's both fierce and refined—punk-rock meets beach vibes. The contrasting colors (rainbow vs. turquoise) and shapes (pointed vs. cylindrical) create exceptional visual interest.
Color Palette:
How It's Made: Each crystal AB spike bead and turquoise tube bead is individually wire-wrapped onto the hammered copper cuff using fine sterling silver wire. This meticulous technique requires hours of focused work, wrapping the wire around each bead multiple times to create a secure, permanent attachment.
Why Sterling Silver Wire?
The Craftsmanship: Wire-wrapping both spike and tube beads onto a curved cuff is challenging work. Each bead must be positioned at the correct angle and secured tightly enough to stay in place but gently enough not to damage the crystal. The combination of two bead shapes and colors requires extra planning and precision to create a balanced, cohesive design—it's true artisan skill.
Intense 3D Texture: This cuff features heavy, intense hammering that creates a dramatic 3D texture across the entire surface. This isn't light, decorative hammering—it's bold, aggressive metalwork that creates deep facets and dimension.
Why Heavy Hammering is Beautiful:
The Hammering Process: Each cuff is hand-hammered using traditional metalworking tools. The artisan strikes the copper surface repeatedly with a specialized hammer, creating the intense 3D pattern. This process requires time, skill, and physical strength—it's what makes each cuff a unique work of art.
What is 8-Gauge Copper? Gauge refers to the thickness of the wire. 8-gauge copper is 3.2mm (approximately 1/8 inch) thick—this is heavy-duty, substantial wire that won't bend or lose shape easily.
Why 8-Gauge is Superior:

The cuff is adjustable and designed to make a bold statement.

Copper Care:
Copper will naturally develop a patina (darkening) over time, adding rustic character. To maintain bright, shiny copper:
Sterling Silver Care:
Sterling silver may tarnish over time. Polish with a silver polishing cloth to restore shine. Store in an airtight bag to prevent tarnishing.
Crystal Care:
Crystal AB spike beads and turquoise tube beads are durable but can chip if dropped on hard surfaces. Handle gently to avoid pulling on the wire-wrapped beads.
Adjusting the Fit:
To adjust the cuff, gently squeeze or expand the opening. Make small adjustments—8-gauge copper is sturdy but can be shaped with gentle pressure. Avoid over-bending, which can stress the wire-wrapped beads.
