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.

CARE

Kindly handle your GaleForce Design Jewelry with the same care as other cherished pieces. It is advisable to keep it away from water, lotions, sprays, cleaners, perfumes, abrasives, and similar substances to maintain its quality and longevity. A protective metal sealer coats the bracelet, safeguarding it against tarnishing and ensuring its long-lasting beauty.

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