Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does anticlastically raised mean?
Anticlastic raising is a metalsmithing technique. The metal is hammered so it curves in two opposite directions. This creates a sculptural, saddle-like shape that is also stronger.
Q2. Why does this copper cuff look rose gold?
Freshly polished copper has a warm pink-orange tone. The deep corrugated texture catches light, which gives the cuff a rose gold-like glow.
Q3. How do I choose the right size?
Measure your wrist with a soft tape. Add 1/2 inch to that number. Choose the closest size: 7, 7 1/2, or 8 inches.
Q4. Will the copper change color?
Yes. The cuff is left uncoated, so it will slowly develop a natural patina. You can let it age or keep it shiny with regular cleaning.
Q5. How do you clean a copper cuff?
Rub it with ketchup or a brass and copper cleaner. Rinse and dry it with a soft cloth. A care card with full instructions is included.
Q6. Why is copper a 7th anniversary gift?
Copper is the traditional metal for the 7th wedding anniversary. It stands for warmth and durability in a relationship.
Q7. Is this cuff handmade?
Yes. Each cuff is handmade and anticlastically raised by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
