Raw Emerald Copper Cuff — Handcrafted Copper Jewelry

The deep green of raw emerald against your wrist. Three natural stones cradled in warm, textured copper with bronze wire-wrapped accents. A hand-hammered cuff that feels substantial, earthy, and entirely yours.

The Transformation

Wear this when you need grounding. When you want a tangible reminder of renewal and growth. When you're drawn to jewelry that honors the raw beauty of natural stones and slow metalwork. This cuff becomes your everyday anchor—substantial enough to make a statement, organic enough to feel timeless.

The Details: Materials & Craft

Gemstones: 3 raw emerald stones (natural, unpolished with organic shape variations)
Accents: Bronze wire-wrapped details around each stone
Metal: Electroformed copper with hand-hammered texture
Finish: Antique copper (warm, aged patina with darker tones)
Band Width: Approximately 6–10mm with organic variations
Process: Handcrafted using traditional electroforming and metalworking techniques
Made: Santa Fe, New Mexico

Each cuff is grown through electroforming—a slow process that deposits solid copper directly around the stones over several hours. The band is then hand-hammered one strike at a time, creating organic texture and movement. Bronze wire is carefully wrapped around each raw emerald, adding warmth and mixed-metal detail. The antique copper finish creates depth and character from the start. No two bracelets are identical.

Why Raw Emerald?

Emerald is associated with renewal, growth, and heart-centered energy. As the May birthstone, it carries gentle meaning and natural beauty. The raw, unpolished stones honor the gem's organic character—deep green color, natural inclusions, and earthy texture. Paired with warm copper and bronze wire accents, it creates a grounded, elemental aesthetic.

Wearability & Fit

Comfortable for all-day wear. The hand-hammered copper cuff features a slight opening that allows for gentle adjustability. The three raw emerald stones sit raised with bronze wire-wrapped accents and textured copper surrounding them. Perfect for wearing alone or stacking with other cuffs.

Care Instructions

This bracelet features an antique copper finish with warm, aged patina. The darker tones are part of the design and will continue to develop character over time. To maintain the antique finish, gently wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh polishing, as this will remove the aged patina. To deepen the natural patina, simply wear it—your body's natural oils will enhance the color. Avoid prolonged water exposure and remove during heavy activity, swimming, or showering. Cuffs are adjustable but avoid excessive bending. Raw emerald is softer than polished gemstones—treat gently and avoid impact.

Product Details

About Electroforming

Electroforming is an ancient technique reimagined for modern jewelry.
Copper molecules bond to each stone over several hours, creating organic textures and secure settings. Learn more about our process.

Each bracelet is electroformed in pure copper, a process that uses electricity to slowly grow metal over organic forms, stone, or wax-carved bases.
This ancient-meets-modern technique creates natural textures and one-of-a-kind variations — no two pieces will ever be the same.
All bracelets are nickel-free, can be sealed for daily wear, and finished by hand in our Santa Fe studio.

For centuries, copper has been worn as a grounding element — believed to balance energy, support circulation, and keep the wearer anchored in presence. It reminds us of our connection to the earth and our ability to return to stillness.

Sizing Guide & Fit

Our electroformed copper cuffs are not adjustable and should not be bent or forced to fit, as this can damage the piece. Choosing the right size from the start ensures a comfortable and lasting fit.

To find your size:

  • Measure your wrist with a flexible tape or string.
  • Add +0.5" for a closer, snug fit.
  • Add +0.75" for a looser, more relaxed fit.

Size guide:

  • Extra Small – fits ~5.75" wrist
  • Small – fits ~6.5" wrist
  • Medium – fits ~7.25" wrist
  • Large – fits ~8" wrist

✨ When in doubt, size up for comfort. Exchanges are accepted. Each cuff is handmade and one-of-a-kind, crafted to be treasured for years.

How To Correctly Put On Your Bracelet

Gently form the bracelet to your wrist using slow, even pressure. Avoid bending it back and forth repeatedly, as electroformed copper is malleable and can weaken over time. A close but comfortable fit helps the metal rest naturally against the skin.

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

  1. Find the soft spot on your wrist — the narrow part just above the wrist bone.
  2. Slide the open side of the cuff sideways onto your wrist — not from the top, but from the side.
  3. Gently rotate or roll the bracelet into place until it rests comfortably.
  4. Avoid bending or stretching the cuff to make it tighter or looser.

Care & Patina

Copper will naturally develop a patina over time, a mark of age, energy, and individuality. To restore brightness, polish gently with a soft cloth or a simple lemon-and-salt paste. To preserve its aged character, simply wipe clean and let the color deepen with wear.

With a little mindful care, your jewelry will stay beautiful for years to come:

  • Remove before showering, swimming, or sleeping.
  • Store in a dry pouch or jewelry box to slow natural patina.
  • Wipe metals gently with a soft jewelry cloth after each wear.
  • Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and hair products.
  • Crystals are natural and can be delicate—handle with care to avoid chips or cracks.
  • Copper and brass will naturally darken over time. If you prefer a brighter finish, polish lightly with a jewelry cloth.
  • For extra protection, select our lacquer option at checkout to reduce tarnish and minimize skin reactions.

Each piece is handcrafted with raw crystals and natural metals—organic changes over time add to its one-of-a-kind beauty.

Copper Protection

Embrace the Patina

Some collectors love the rich, aged look that copper develops over time. This natural patina tells a story—of adventures taken, energies absorbed, and the passage of time. If you resonate with that earthy, vintage look, feel free to let your copper evolve organically.

Why add lacquer?

  • Slows the natural darkening (patina) of copper
  • Minimizes the chance of skin reactions
  • Keeps copper looking brighter for longer
  • Protects while preserving the earthy character of your jewelry

Details:

  • Optional upgrade available for $5
  • Applied directly to your copper ring, necklace, earrings, cuff, or bracelet before shipping
  • Clear finish — no change to the look or feel of your piece
