Call Home Cuff
Sterling silver - reclaimed
Gold fill accent
Royston Ribbon turquoise
Measures 5.25” end to end - with cuffs, you want to have about an inch of an opening. This cuff fits best on a 5.25-6” wrist
This cuff is made from used sterling silver ware and used jewelry people have given to me or I have found along the way. I melted down the silver and rolled it out to form a natural cuff shape. I then layered the sun and the mountains, bird and moon. I stamped the stars and set the incredible stone. It all came together so nicely and it is one of the best pieces I have ever made. She fits so beautifully.
With all jewelry pieces, but especially cuffs - it is important to open and close your cuff very little. My advice is to pull the cuff open just enough to SLIP onto the side of your wrist (the thinnest part of the wrist) and then close enough to feel like it won't slip off. And then let it be and enjoy.
Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost more because of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
Made with love - one of a kind, twisted, bent, set, sawn, stamped, fired by my own two hands.
