Their pieces, like this cuff, are recognized for their attention to detail and use of genuine materials. The overlay technique, while utilized across different jewelry traditions, requires considerable skill in sawing, soldering, and finishing to achieve such clean lines and polished results. This vintage cuff, with its strong geometric statement, is a testament to the enduring appeal of modernist-influenced design and the quality associated with the Metal Arts Group. It's a versatile piece, ready to add a touch of sophisticated, handcrafted artistry to your collection.

This one suits wrists from about 6.4" to 6.85". Measure with a tape or a strip of paper, snug against the skin, just below the wrist bone.
Classic comfort fit +0.50" of room
Room to breathe and to move the wrist, without sliding about. This is where most people want to be.
Non-adjustable — solid silver
Thick-gauge sterling does not move by hand, and forcing it work-hardens the shoulders until they crack. Please buy to your measurement rather than planning to adjust it.
How to put a vintage cuff on without bending it
- Turn the cuff so the gap faces the underside of your wrist.
- Rest the opening against the narrowest part — the flat side of the wrist, not the back of the hand.
- Roll it on: slide one terminal past the wrist bone, then rotate the cuff around rather than pushing it straight on.
- Turn the gap back underneath once it is on.
The roll is the whole trick. Pushing a cuff on straight is what makes people force the gap wider, and the silver does not come back.
