Care Tips for Bronze Jewelry

So, let’s talk green wrists. Yep, it’s a thing with bronze. But it’s not harmful and definitely not permanent.

Here’s why it happens:
Bronze contains copper, and copper reacts to sweat, lotions, and air. It creates a patina (aka, oxidation), which can sometimes leave a green mark. Some people never get it. Others do right away.

Good news:

  • It washes off easily with soap and water
  • It won’t hurt your skin
  • You can slow it down by keeping your wrist dry and clean
  • Or just let it do its thing—some folks actually like the look of aged bronze

Heads up: Refunds won't be given because "It turned my wrist green." This is part of the nature of bronze, and we’re all about natural beauty here.

More Bronze Pieces You'll Love

So you've fallen for the 5mm Bark Bronze Cuff Bracelet. Can't blame you—it’s got that perfect mix of strength and style. But if you’re looking to complete your look or find something that plays well with it, you’ve got options. From subtle stacking rings to bold statement earrings, these bronze pieces bring that same raw vibe and handcrafted feel that makes the cuff so special.

Here’s how to mix and match like a pro:

Bracelets & Cuffs – Stack It Up or Swap It Out

Want to layer your bracelet for more texture or swap it out depending on your mood? These three bronze cuffs are the perfect add-ons or alternatives:

  • 3.5mm Chased Bronze Cuff Bracelet
    Slightly slimmer, but with a cool chased texture that adds movement and depth. Great for stacking next to the bark cuff without overpowering it.
  • 3mm Wide Hammered Bronze Cuff Bracelet
    A little thinner and lighter, this hammered version brings a softer shine. It’s perfect for everyday wear or for stacking with multiple cuffs.
  • Hammered Bronze Cuff
    If you're into bolder, chunkier looks, this one’s for you. It’s wider and a little heavier, which makes it more of a statement piece. Think night out or gallery opening kind of vibe.

Rings – Subtle, Stacked, or Statement

Your wrist shouldn’t get all the attention. These bronze rings balance beautifully with the bark cuff, especially if you love that rugged metal vibe.

  • 4mm Matte Bronze Bypass Ring
    Minimalist and modern. Its open bypass shape gives it a soft twist, literally, and the matte finish pairs nicely with the textured bark.
  • 5mm Hammered Bronze Cuff Ring
    Matches the size of your bark bracelet and brings a touch of shimmer from the hammered texture. Looks great on its own or stacked.

Try mixing finishes—matte with bark, hammered with brushed—for a layered look that still feels intentional.

Earrings – Bring Balance to the Look

Wearing a strong bracelet on your wrist? Balance it out with earrings that echo the same hand-worked vibe. These bronze bark styles tie everything together without looking too matchy-matchy.

  • Bronze Bark Long Teardrop Earrings
    These catch the light beautifully thanks to their long shape, and they mirror the bark texture of the cuff. Wear them when you want something bold but elegant.
  • Bronze Bark Leaf Drop Earrings
    Inspired by nature, just like the bracelet. The leaf shape softens the look and adds a bit of movement when you turn your head. Great for daytime or casual events.
  • Bronze Bark Dangle Earrings
    A bit shorter than the others but still packed with texture. These are perfect for everyday wear or when you want something low-key that still ties the outfit together.

Necklaces – Pull It All Together

A good necklace makes the whole outfit feel finished. These bronze necklaces complement the cuff without fighting for attention.

  • Hammered Bronze Link Chain Necklace
    It’s bold, chunky, and handmade—just like your cuff. The hammered links catch the light, giving your neckline some shine without going full glam. Looks amazing with a v-neck or layered over a turtleneck.
