Copper Cuff Bracelet Size Chart

Choosing the right cuff size starts with understanding how cuff bracelets are designed to fit. Unlike closed bangles, cuffs include an opening, which allows them to slide onto the wrist comfortably while maintaining structure.

Below is a full sizing breakdown based on total bracelet circumference, opening size, and actual copper length.

Available Sizes

Each size reflects the total inside circumference when worn, not just the metal length. The opening is intentionally designed to allow the cuff to slide onto the wrist while maintaining its shape.

How to Find Your Perfect Fit

Getting the right size is simple and takes less than a minute.

Step by Step Sizing Method

1. Use a flexible measuring tape.
2. Measure your wrist just above the wrist bone where you plan to wear the cuff.
3. Add 1/2 inch to that measurement.

This added space allows for comfort and ensures the cuff is not too tight.

Example Sizing

Why the Opening Matters

Cuff bracelets are not meant to fully close around the wrist. The opening:

• Allows easy wear and removal
• Maintains structural integrity
• Prevents metal fatigue from bending

The copper length plus the opening equals the total wearable circumference.

Quick Sizing Rule

Measure your wrist above the wrist bone and add 1/2 inch.  That number equals the cuff size you should order. Simple, accurate, and ensures a comfortable fit every time.

About the Artist - John S. Brana

For over 22 years, artisan John S. Brana has been handcrafting unique jewelry in his studio in San Francisco.  The craftsmanship in each handmade creation is readily apparent in the intricate details. One of a kind textures are achieved using Hammers, stakes and other traditional jewelry making tools along with some improvised household objects when needed.

The uncoated finishes and oxidizing metal surfaces showcase the natural patinas of the materials like copper, brass and bronze over time. And no two will age exactly the same due to the hand techniques.

This alligator bracelet is created from pure copper bar that is cut, textured, and formed into the finished cuff shape. The uncoated copper will age gracefully over time adding to the character.

Caring for Your Copper Jewelry

Copper will undergo an oxidation process when in prolonged contact with human skin. The level varies based on individual body chemistry.

As oxidation occurs, you may notice some temporary skin discoloration and the copper takes on a greenish hue over time. Neither are harmful, but some people prefer limiting exposure.

Here are some tips for caring for copper jewelry:

Minimal wear

• Avoid 24/7 wear - take off before bed
• Allow skin breaks throughout day

Clean regularly

• Gently polish with a jewelers cloth
• Wash periodically with mild soap and water

Storage

• Keep jewelry in zip lock or anti-tarnish bags or pouches
• For extended storage you can use anti-tarnish strips

With occasional care, your copper jewelry will maintain its beauty and last for years to come!
