How to Put On a Cuff Bracelet (And Keep It Beautiful for Years)
Cuff bracelets are timeless, versatile, and easy to wear—but only if you put them on the right way. If you've ordered a handmade cuff from Blackbird & Sage, especially one made of electroformed copper, this guide will help you protect your piece and wear it with confidence.
🔨 First, What Is Electroformed Copper?
Electroformed copper is created through a process that builds up layers of pure copper onto a natural form (like a crystal or wax model), resulting in a piece that is solid and organically shaped—but less flexible than hand-forged copper. Think of it like a shell: strong, but not meant to bend.
Electroformed copper cuffs are not meant to bend — they should never be pulled open or squeezed closed. Doing so can cause the copper to crack, especially at the middle or ends of the cuff.
🌿 How to Properly Put On Your Cuff Bracelet
- Find the soft spot on your wrist — the narrow part just above the wrist bone.
- Slide the open side of the cuff sideways onto your wrist — not from the top, but from the side.
- Gently rotate or roll the bracelet into place until it rests comfortably.
- Avoid bending or stretching the cuff to make it tighter or looser.
🔥 A Note on Crystal Cuffs
Many of our cuffs include raw crystals or natural stones. These beautiful, one-of-a-kind adornments are also delicate. Avoid hitting your bracelet against hard surfaces, and remove it before activities like heavy lifting, showering, or sleeping.
