Cuff Me

So, I've finally been moving forward on my designs for my Archangel Cuff Bracelets... and I've realized, making cuff bracelets is freakin' hard!  A cuff bracelet is defined as "a rigid bracelet with a gap in the material, usually on its reverse side. The opening lets us easily slip the bracelet over a wrist." (Definition from About.com)

I think I may have actually shot myself in a foot a little bit by deciding to make cuffs as opposed to any other type of bracelet.  Generally speaking, bracelets are lengths of chain or any other material... they stay on the arm by being large enough to fit the wrist but small enough to NOT slip over the hand.  "Fit" is a relative term.

But with cuffs are different, fit is of the utmost importance... if a cuff bracelet doesn't fit the arm just. right. that thing is gonna fall off, without a doubt.

Lots of push, pull, and experimentation in these bracelets for me.  I'm glad it's something I conquered... but will I be making another suite of cuff bracelets any time soon?  Most likely, no :)
