I use a ball pein hammer to shape them and deliberately leave the tools marks to create a rippled texture.
Each symbol is precisely mapped out before I stamp it in. Any mistakes at this point, and I have to start again.....you can't erase them once they are there!
Whilst every effort is made to make the design the same each time, there will naturally be slight variation in the spacing and depth of the stamps, as you would expect with a hand made item.
The copper will tarnish and oxidize over time, turning a darker brown colour. If you like this effect you can leave it. If you prefer it to be shiny, you can easily polish it up again with some Brasso and a soft cloth.
The copper might make your skin go green with copper oxide occasionally, this is harmless and washed off. But you can easily prevent this by rubbing bees wax on the inside of the Cuff, or by painting the inside with clear nail varnish.
If you feel like you will need one that smaller or larger that what I offer, just order the closest size, and send me a message in your order with your cusom measurements.
