This sterling silver stamped cuff bracelet is a gorgeous piece of Native American jewelry signed by the artist Rudy Willie. The beautifully handmade cuff bracelet was purchased by me in Santa Fe between 2000-2003. It features intricate stamping, is substantially weighted and showcases traditional southwest motifs. The cuff style is perfect for unisex adults, and the sterling silver metal purity is .925.

MEASURING YOUR WRIST:
First, measure the circumference of your wrist where you want to wear your cuff bracelet. Use a measuring tape or a piece of string. Wrap the measuring tape or string snugly around your wrist and mark the point where the measuring tape or the string overlaps. Then measure that distance with a ruler to determine the total circumference of your wrist.
MEASUREING A CUFF BRACELET:Cuff bracelets are usually measured by the circumference of the metal (end-to-end) and then the measurement of the gap (open space between the metal ends). For instance, if a cuff bracelet says it has a circumference of 6” and a gap measurement of 1”, the TOTAL circumference of the bracelet would be 7” and should fit a wrist 6 3/4” to 7 1/4”.
ADJUSTING YOUR CUFF BRACELET:
For a smaller or larger fit, find the gap at the back of your bracelet. Very gently squeeze the sides inward or outward with your fingertips making gradual adjustments. Continue making gradual adjustments until you find a good fit for your wrist. Never bend your bracelet at the center, as the pressure could compromise the strength of your bracelet, bending it out of shape or even breaking it. Some bracelets can only be adjusted by a jeweler.
WEARING YOUR CUFF BRACELET:To wear your cuff bracelet, place to gap of your bracelet on the inside of your wrist just above your wrist bone. Slide your bracelet sideways around the top of your wrist. Push your bracelet slightly up above your wrist bone until you like where it sits on your wrist. Your cuff bracelet should fit snug but not tight. Nor should it be loose enough to twist freely around your wrist.
