Hotsell Jellyfish, Handmade Cuff, Copper Bracelet

The jellyfish tells us that when we are able to rein our emotions in, when we are able to react with appropriate emotions to the challenges of life, then we can easily define our place in life and in the world.

Jellyfish are truly intriguing creatures. They have no facial features or points of intimacy, and are essentially made up of primarily water (95% to be precise). You can easily be fascinated by the way they glide through the oceans perfectly at one with nature.

Despite their name, jellyfish aren't really a type of fish. Fish are vertebrates that live in water and breathe through their gills. Jellyfish, on the other hand, are invertebrates, meaning they have no backbone and they absorb oxygen from water through membranes.

Fun facts about jellyfish:
• Over 60,000 jellyfish have been in space.
• There are over 25 types of edible jellyfish.
• Some jellyfish are bio-luminescent.
• They are 98% water, without a brain or a heart.
• A group of jellyfish is called a "smack".
• They have been to space. NASA first started sending jellyfish to space aboard the Columbia space shuttle back in the early 1990s to test how they might get along in a zero-gravity environment.

This cuff is is a great compliment for many outfits. You can dress it up or wear it casually. I have applied a dark patina to emphasize the details of the design and to give it a dramatic look. This bracelet is coated with a metal sealer to help protect the metal from tarnishing.

To achieve the design on this bracelet, I have used an acid etching technique. Years of experimenting with and fine tuning the process have hotsell led to the intricate details you see here.

This gorgeous bracelet was fashioned with thick, 14 gauge (1.6 mm) copper. It measures 1” W x 6” L and has a 1.25” opening in the back to slip over your wrist. The cuff is adjustable and usually accommodates wrist sizes 5 3/4” to 7 3/4” comfortably, depending how loose or tight you like to wear your jewelry. To ensure this will fit your wrist please measure your wrist. If you have questions about the sizing please don't hesitate to ask me.

SIZING: The cuff may be slowly adjusted, with even pressure on both sides of the opening. Please remember to leave yourself just the right amount of space to be able to take the bracelet off without it being too loose to fall off your wrist on its own. Adjusting the size of metal jewelry frequently is not recommended. To put the bracelet on and to take it off, it may be helpful to do so sideways, just above your wrist bone, in the meaty part of your forearm.

CARE: Please treat your GaleForce Design Jewelry as you would all special jewelry. Avoid exposure to water, lotions, sprays, cleaners, perfumes, abrasives, etc.

This piece comes packaged in a gift box. Care and sizing instructions are featured on the inside lid of the box.
