This cuff evolved from a desire to utilize simple but organic lines while layering the different textures and colors (of copper, brass, and silver metal). When I recently took Connie's cuff-making class I had no experience in metal work or jewelry-making and am now in total awe of the process and have a new appreciation for people who craft metal jewelry. I stumbled onto Connie's website completely by chance while looking for tools and tips in using metal to embellish my stained glass projects. I am thrilled with the outcome and must thank Connie for the amazing experience! Email Cathy.

Mexican Tin Art Cuff. While I was in class I was thinking "Oh it's so big I'll NEVER wear this!" Once on my wrist I am empowered and love it (the cuff). The cuff is made of 20 gauge sterling sheet with a concrete texture. (Go hammer on the sidewalk!) The "Mexican Tin Art" is 30 gauge sterling sheet the design made with an 'altered' center punch. 14 Gauge brass rivets complete the cuff. I had to anneal the brass (it was NOT dead soft) in my kiln adding hydrogen peroxide to the pickle so it would retain it's brass color. What an adventure in learning!! Email Deirdre

I made this in Connie's "Cuff with Prong Set Stone" class. The subtle texture is window screening. The stone is Morrisonite Jasper. Love those prongs!

I started this free-form wire cuff at a weekend workshop with Connie. Many hours later, I finished it. This was a super fun class and one of my very best weekends ever. Thank you, Connie!!! Email Mary Ellen.

Na'vi Fine Silver Cuff. The unique cut of this blood stone inspired me to name this piece Na'vi, from the movie Avatar. The cuff is forged from Fine silver (99.9%) sheet metal, hammer-textured and patinated. 18 gauge wire prongs were soldered onto the textured Sterling silver upper plate and the plate was then soldered onto the cuff. The blood stone was set and finishing techniques implemented. Thanks, Connie! Email Judith

These cuffs were created in Connie's Corrigated Cuff Class. I have some of my creations in "Earth Spirits" in Palm Desert, Mustang Gallery, Port Aransas Texas and Cybele's, Fairhope, Alabama. Email Natalie
