Product Description:
The perfect start to a cuff bracelet is a good cuff bracelet blank. The brass blanks we sell are slightly thicker and sturdier than these aluminum ones, but these work well. These are more lightweight then the brass, (something to keep in mind when adding alot of weight in stones/beads.) are almost as sturdy as the brass and have rounded edges at the ends just like the brass. (the picture shows the edges square; you can request square edges, but all other will be shipped rounded.) All in all, these are just about the same as the brass cuffs, yet much, much less cost. Try one....it might work better for your project than the heavier brass! And it's not like you are out much if it doesn't! :)
Inspiration / Story behind this Product:
When we saw the market price of Brass going up and up, we decided to look into making our own cuffs. We purchased the equipment to manufacture our cuffs in house and now make them right here next to our glass studio. We are making aluminum cuffs only at this time, with the hopes of expanding to both copper and brass at a later date. All of our aluminum cuffs are 6 inches long and are of excellent quality, sturdy and easy to use. I actually prefer them to brass because of the weight; brass is HEAVY, aluminum is NOT! And once you add embellishments such as cabochons and beadwork, a brass cuff can be downright uncomfortable to wear! Best of all, our aluminum cuffs are much less expensive than the brass cuffs! And since we make the cuffs ourselves, you have the added benefit of being able to order custom sizes in length and width! Just call or email us your requirements for size and we'll give you a price.
