Horsetooth Mountain, Copper Cuff, Handmade Bracelet

Description

Horsetooth Mountain, Handmade Copper Bracelet – A symbol of constancy, eternity, firmness, and stillness. The perfect piece for those who are strong and bold!

Horsetooth Mountain, also known as Horsetooth Rock by locals, is a charming Colorado peak located just 15 minutes outside of Fort Collins. Its name originates from its unique resemblance to a giant horse’s tooth, complete with a rugged chewing surface and groove. For the best view of this distinctive shape, head to Horsetooth Road in downtown Fort Collins.

This remarkable mountain also carries an old Native American legend. It is said that the Valley of Contentment, now known as Horsetooth Reservoir, was once guarded by a giant to protect the wildlife. Chief Maunamoku led the Indians in a battle against the giant, eventually slaying him. The Chief struck the giant’s heart three times with a tomahawk from the heavens – first in the center, then on the right, and finally on the left. The giant transformed into stone and became the iconic Horsetooth Rock.

To enhance the intricate design and create a striking aesthetic, a dark patina has been applied. A protective metal sealer coats the bracelet, safeguarding it against tarnishing and ensuring its long-lasting beauty.

Created using an acid etching technique, this bracelet showcases the result of extensive experimentation and fine-tuning over the years. The intricate details you see are a testament to the artistry and dedication poured into creating this beautiful piece.

SIZING

Crafted from thick, 14-gauge (1.6 mm) copper, this bracelet measures 1” W x 6” L and features a convenient, 1 1/4” opening at the back for easy slip-on access. The cuff is adjustable, comfortably accommodating wrist sizes ranging from 5 3/4” to 7 3/4”, depending on your desired fit. For an accurate fit, please measure your wrist and feel free to ask any sizing questions you may have.

To adjust the cuff, apply even pressure on both sides of the opening. Remember to leave just the right amount of space for easy removal without it being too loose. I advise against frequent adjustments to metal jewelry sizes. When putting on or taking off the bracelet, a sideways approach just above your wrist bone, in the soft part of your forearm, can be helpful. For further details on the proper sizing of your cuff, please watch the video on the Sizing & Care page.
