                    The Metal
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.

                    The Stones
Every stone is hand-chosen for its raw beauty — untouched, uncut, and full of natural detail.
Electroforming allows the metal to flow organically around the crystal, preserving its unique shape while creating a secure, enduring setting.
Minor differences in tone, texture, or patina are intentional — they reflect the individuality of both the material and the maker.

                    A Micro-Ritual For You
Before putting your bracelet on, pause and take a steady breath. Let your hand rest over your pulse and recall what you want to hold close today — peace, focus, strength, or clarity. Wear it as a quiet reminder of that purpose throughout your day.
Each talisman is one-of-a-kind, like the story it’s meant to carry.

FOR THE WILD KEEPER
Craft, care, and fit
                    
                    
                      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
- 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.
 
                    
                    
                      care and 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.
                    
                    
                      do I need 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
