Acanthus Leaf Branch Filigree Bracelet Cuff - Sculptural Bangle-Art Nouveau Cuff Bangle in Steel, Brass, Bronze, shops and Sterling Silver
The acanthus leaves symbolize enduring life and immortality and have been a favorite motif used by architects to adorn the exteriors of buildings from the ancient Greeks and can be seen in many art nouveau theme architecture. Taking inspiration from this motif, here is my version of it in a bangle cuff style. A single acanthus leaf design to look as if sculpt out of a column. Intentionally asymmetrical to highlight its uniqueness, perfectly suited for those looking for something extra in a filigree bracelet. My favorite is the textured gold steel version but looks amazing as a statement silver cuff bangle.

MADE TO ORDER ITEM - MAKE TIME 2-3 WEEKS
HOW IT WILL BE MADE:
I design each jewelry piece before sending it out to be 3D printed in wax by a production partner. Then it will be cast traditionally in a kiln and tumbled polished. Depending on the design and finish of your choice, it may go thru another level of hand polishing before it is packaged in a gift box and mailed to you. Please note that small or internal areas may not be reachable but does not take away the overall uniqueness of the piece.
SOMETHINGS TO NOTE:
Bronze and brass options will patina (darken in color) naturally over time as you expose it to your environment. To bring the brightness back, simply wipe with polishing cloth or leave it in Ketchup for a few minutes and rinse off, science would have done all the restoration work. :)
Depending on your skin's sweat, acidity level and hormones, brass shops and bronze metals may leave a greenish mark on your skin which can be washed and rubbed off with soapy water. All material options I offer are nickel free but each body chemistry reacts to metals differently, so if you are sensitive to brass and bronze, these options may not be suitable for you.
