Inner circ of the bangles are approx 9"

To fit medium to large female hand

Custom sizes and designs are available

Male bangle jewellery without the beads is also available

All our copper is jewellery grade and is pre treated with sealant for wearing against the skin

Each piece of copper work starts out as a length of wire which is then cut, twisted, folded and bent into shape and is hammered for strength and durability before being created into one of our necklaces. Each piece is individually formed and therefor may show some slight variation in size.
