ITEM: This is a cuff-style bracelet that started as a flat piece of silver which was then twisted into a moderately tight helix. The starting blank was flat with beveled edges which can be seen in the close up - it scatters more light with the additional facets.

PEDIGREE: I make all raw and finished materials and perform every step of the manufacturing process bar none. Literally, this piece has been nurtured from the atomic level.

The word handmade has a legal definition for jewelry. Unfortunately, most who use the term don't represent their items properly. Encourage integrity, honesty, and ethical behaviors by choosing your purchases wisely.

MATERIAL: My precious metals are reclaimed from existing sources by me, sparing the environment and natural resources. There are no unfair labor or acquisition tactics, conflict materials, unknown manufacturing processes, or support for foreign entities. Pure silver is one of the most hypoallergenic metals with natural anti-microbial and anti-viral properties.

CONSTRUCTION: This has been shaped from a solid piece of pure silver. It has a smooth texture, beveled-edge profile (it is actually six-sided), and polished appearance.

FINISH: More information here. The completed piece goes through the tumbler numerous times to polish and burnish it before any finish or texturing is applied. This one has a polished finish.

DIMENSIONS: The pictured example is 6-1/2" long and its price can be found in the dropdown box. This piece, like most cuff bracelets, can be made to any width, thickness, or length. This is narrow width and normal thickness. The twist is about as tight as possible before it starts to deform but can be made to any less-severe twist. As it sits it is 2-5/8" x 2".

SIZING AND FIT: This is in a hardened state due to how it was designed. It will spread wide enough to slip over any wrist and close just the same once in place. There is no clasp - it is a cuff-style bracelet. Choose a size based on what you already wear or we can figure it out together.

PRESENTATION CASE: This will come in an unfinished wooden box with cotton or fabric lining. While not as beautiful as the full-fledged custom boxes accompanying my chainmail bracelets and necklaces, it is much more gift-worthy than even the most artistic cardboard boxes. You can upgrade or personalize this Metals by Mark exclusive.

Expect to pay a minimum of $25 USD S/H/I to Canada or $35 USD elsewhere. Everything is fully insured with proper legal documentation. Buyer is responsible for all taxes, duties, and fees.

CUSTOMIZE: Custom orders are the majority of my work and definitely a specialty! Unlock your imagination and pick your poison: thickness, width, length, texture, choice of metal(s), ring size or shape, dainty or super-sized. I'll even make necklaces, belts, earrings, anklets...anything that uses a chain. It can be engraved or stamped with many font choices.

OTHER METALS: Any gold color or alloy is available in 10k, 14k, 18k, and more. Sterling silver is always a favorite though any silver alloy is possible. Except by special request, which delays production for a few weeks, no other metals are available besides silver and gold.

PRECISION ASSEMBLY: I reject anything that doesn't function properly. Only then does fashion become the deciding factor.

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY: I express the truest essence of jewelry in all of my creations. Luxury is about elegance, beauty, discriminating taste, and high-quality workmanship...not compromise.

SPECIAL OFFERS: Owner is responsible for shipping costs both ways. I'll put it through the tumbler and check the condition. It will be returned the next business day unless I'm traveling.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION: The pictured example is 6-1/2" x 1/8"+ x under 1/16". The outer dimensions of the finished piece are 2-5/8" x 2". The total weight is 10 grams or 0.32 troy ounces.
