Description
This raw garnet copper cuff features genuine raw garnet crystals averaging 4 to 5mm, each one fully encased in warm, textured electroformed copper with bronze wire-wrapped accents that frame every stone with quiet, mixed-metal detail. The deep red of the garnet reads as warm and grounded against the antique copper, shifting from burgundy to rich crimson depending on the light. Substantial without being heavy. Layerable without being fussy. A piece that wears easily and feels like it belongs.
Garnet is associated with vitality, steady energy, and grounded confidence. The January birthstone, worn for centuries as a simple, wearable reminder of inner strength and warmth.
Why Raw Garnet
Garnet is a silicate mineral group with several varieties. The deep red garnet most commonly associated with the name is almandine or pyrope. Its name comes from the Latin granatum, meaning pomegranate, because raw garnet crystals resemble the seeds of the fruit. Found worldwide including India, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and the United States. Long associated with vitality, steady energy, and grounded confidence. Chosen for its deep red color, its raw unpolished form that shows natural crystal faces and organic shape, and its warm, unhurried presence. No mystical claims. Just a striking stone with a grounded meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Garnet Bracelet Is Made
Each raw garnet copper cuff is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every garnet crystal for its color depth and natural character, then encase it in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around each stone through an electrical process, one slow layer at a time. Bronze wire is carefully wrapped around each crystal, adding warmth and mixed-metal detail. The antique finish deepens the character from the start. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade garnet bracelet from this studio is one of a kind.
Fit and Sizing
This cuff has a slight opening that allows for gentle adjustability. Due to the wide cuff form, measure around the widest part of your hand (knuckles) when making a fist to ensure the cuff will slide on comfortably.
To find your best fit, measure your wrist and add 0.5″ for a snug fit or 0.75″ for a relaxed, comfortable fit.
Available sizes:
XS: 5.75″ bracelet, fits approximately 5.0 to 5.25″ wrist
S: 6.5″ bracelet, fits approximately 5.75 to 6.0″ wrist
M: 7.25″ bracelet, fits approximately 6.5 to 6.75″ wrist
L: 8.0″ bracelet, fits approximately 7.25 to 7.5″ wrist
Avoid repeatedly bending the cuff open and closed. Electroformed copper is solid and structured, not flexible sheet metal. Slide the cuff on from the side over the soft spot above your wrist bone, then rotate gently into place.

Care
Remove before swimming, showering, heavy activity, or applying lotions. Store dry. Wipe gently with a soft cloth to maintain the antique finish. Avoid harsh polishing, which will remove the aged patina. Raw garnet is a durable stone but treat each crystal gently and avoid impact. Do not repeatedly bend the cuff.
