5-Strand Flat braided copper cuff | 12 AWG
Rugged craftsmanship meets structural symmetry — this handmade copper cuff is woven from five strands of solid 12-gauge copper wire into a tight diagonal plait, creating a broad profile with an unmistakable tactile depth and reassuring weight on the wrist. Built to last a lifetime, the ends are autogenously TIG-welded into seamless copper terminals with zero filler metal. Hand-buffed to a brilliant mirror shine, every contour of the weave catches the light while maintaining a smooth, snag-free profile.
5-Strand Diagonal Plait Craftsmanship
Built with structural integrity in mind, this piece uses a precision plaiting technique:
-
Hand-Platted Weave: Five continuous strands of solid 12 AWG bare copper wire are systematically hand-braided into a flat, interlocking diagonal weave that maintains exceptional torsional rigidity and lays comfortable and flush against the wrist.
-
TIG-Fused Terminals: To anchor all five strands permanently, the ends are autogenously TIG-welded into smooth, solid copper terminals with zero solder, alloys, or external filler metal for a seamless, lifelong bond.
-
Mirror-Buffed Finish: Torch-annealed, hand-trued, and buffed to a high-luster mirror polish that highlights the rich contours of each wire strand, then sealed with microcrystalline wax for lasting protection

🔧 Wearing & Adjusting
-
Putting it on: Roll the cuff on from the side of your wrist just above the bone. Don't yank it open to pull it straight over your arm.
-
Dialing in the fit: Give the cuff a gentle, firm squeeze once to set it to your wrist. Avoid bending it open and closed repeatedly so the copper stays rock-solid.
✨ Care & Maintenance
Keep your copper cuff looking its best with simple daily care:
-
Avoid Lotions & Oils: Moisture, harsh chemicals, body lotions, and skincare oils speed up oxidation and cause skin discoloration (greening). Put your cuff on after applying cosmetics.
-
Daily Wipe Down: After wearing, wipe the interior and exterior down with a soft, clean cloth to remove skin oils and sweat before storing.
-
Light Cleaning: If soiled, wash with mild dish soap and warm water using a soft-bristled brush (like a soft toothbrush) to clear buildup from the weave.
-
Rinse & Dry Thoroughly: Rinse completely with clean water, dry thoroughly with a towel, and buff with a soft cloth to restore shine.
