Handcrafted Copper & Brass Men's Wide Cuff Bangle | Three Tiger's Eye Cabochons | Sedgefield, Garden Route

Handcrafted Copper & Brass Men’s Wide Cuff Bangle | Three Tiger’s Eye Cabochons | Sedgefield, Garden Route

Brown stone with gold running through it, set in metals of the same warm colours.

This cuff was made within the last five years by a local craftsperson in Sedgefield, on the Garden Route, for The Dancing Faun Antiques. The three tiger’s eye stones were chosen and supplied by The Dancing Faun Antiques and set by the maker. Tiger’s eye is a form of quartz whose fibrous structure gives it a band of light that moves across the stone as it turns.

The cuff is wide and open at the back. Plain brass rails run along each edge, with rippled copper strips between them. Brass collars hold the rails together at intervals. At the front, an oval tiger’s eye cabochon sits in a brass bezel, with a smaller tiger’s eye cabochon on either side. The ends finish in flat brass caps.

Excellent condition. Made for The Dancing Faun Antiques and never worn.

Collector Appeal

A one-off made in Sedgefield for The Dancing Faun Antiques. Plain brass rails and rippled copper give it a cleaner line than the wide malachite cuff in the shop. The three stones bring warm gold and brown against the metal.

In tiger’s eye, even the smallest movement changes what the light reveals.
