A Modern Classic in Solid Bronze

Actually, bronze has been around for thousands of years. It’s one of the oldest metal alloys used in art and design. And it still feels fresh today.

This cuff is made from raw solid bronze, a rich blend of 92 percent copper and 8 percent tin. It is not oxidized. That means you get that warm golden brown glow straight from the metal itself.

Each bracelet is:

  • Hand hammered
  • Shaped and formed by hand
  • Finished with care in California
  • Made from 100 percent U.S. sourced and refined metals

And that hammered texture. It catches the light in the best way. Like sunlight dancing on water. Subtle sparkle. Nothing flashy.

You can see more pieces like this in the full Bronze Jewelry Collection if you love that warm metallic glow.

    The Beauty of Hammered Texture

    But let’s go back to that hammered finish.

    Each strike of the hammer leaves a tiny mark. Those marks reflect light in different directions. So the bracelet never looks flat.

    It feels alive.

    No two cuffs look exactly the same. Because they’re shaped by hand. Not stamped out by a machine.

    You can read more about why bronze has stayed popular for centuries in this article on The Timeless Beauty of Bronze in Jewelry.

    Let’s Talk About Bronze and Skin

    Okay. We should talk about this.

    Bronze contains copper. And when copper meets air, sweat, lotions, or sunscreen, it can oxidize. That can cause a green or brown mark on your skin.

    Some people notice it. Some never do.

    It depends on your body chemistry.

    And here’s the important part. It’s not harmful. It washes off with soap and water. If you don’t wash it off, it usually fades overnight.

    Refunds will not be given because it turns your wrist green.

    Think of it like wearing real denim that fades. Or leather that softens. Real materials react. That’s part of their charm.

    Why Handmade Matters

    And in a world full of fast fashion, handmade feels different.

    John S. Brana has been handcrafting jewelry for over 22 years in his San Francisco studio. Every cuff is shaped, hammered, and finished by hand.

    No mass production lines. No shortcuts.
