Looking for a piece that’s bold but still easy to wear every day? Something raw, earthy, and full of character? The 3.5mm Bark Bronze Cuff Bracelet checks all the boxes. Handcrafted from solid raw bronze by designer John S. Brana, this cuff brings a rugged elegance that’s perfect for anyone who loves the warmth of natural metals and the beauty of artisan work.
This one’s not just about looks, though. It tells a story. A bark-like texture inspired by the rough surface of tree trunks. A warm bronze tone that ages beautifully with time. And because it’s made with 92% copper and 8% tin, you’re getting that classic bronze richness without any fake shine or weird coatings.

- Eco-conscious shoppers who care about sourcing and sustainability. This bracelet’s made from 100% U.S.-sourced recycled metals.

How to Choose the Right Size
Measuring is simple. Just wrap a soft tape measure around your wrist just above the wrist bone. Then add 1/2 inch to that number.
Example: If your wrist measures 7 inches, order a 7 1/2 inch cuff.
Here’s the full sizing chart:
| Cuff Size | Wrist Circumference | Bronze Length | Opening Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 inches | 5 1/2 inches | 5 1/8 inches | 7/8 inch |
| 6 1/2 inches | 6 inches | 5 1/2 inches | 1 inch |
| 7 inches | 6 1/2 inches | 6 inches | 1 inch |
| 7 1/2 inches | 7 inches | 6 1/2 inches | 1 inch |
| 8 inches | 7 1/2 inches | 6 3/4 inches | 1 1/4 inch |
A Quick Word About Bronze and Skin
Let’s be real for a second. Bronze contains copper, and copper can react with your skin. That means some people may get a bit of greenish staining after wearing it, especially if you're sweating or wearing lotions or sunscreen.
But here’s the deal:
- It’s totally harmless.
- It washes right off with soap and water.
- Some people never see any color change at all.
And just so we’re clear – no refunds will be given for discoloration. It's a natural part of wearing raw bronze jewelry.
