Barbed wire cuff

Description

This cuff was an art project that started after making two bracelets based on the water I saw while floating on the Atlantic Ocean and one very plain bracelet whose point was keeping the lines straight and narrow. As you can see, this one was meant to be curvy and a bit organic, but still look modern. The caged effect that it has comes from the bronze wire that has been hammered flat and then enhanced by the copper that wraps around it.

It has an added handmade (bronze) hook and eye clasp in the back simply because I got a little ambitious when I was widening it and it became too small to even fit my rather small wrist. Without the clasp, it's about six 1/2 inches so I can take it off for people that desire a smaller bangle.

around: seven 1/2 inches
width: three inches (at the center)
metals: bronze, copper
