You’re doing f*cking great Secret Message Recycled Copper Affirmation Cuff

$25.00

This bracelet is stamped with the phrase "you're doing fucking great" on the inside and has a unique texture on the outside. The message is hidden, so it’s a secret.

af·firm·a·tion

noun

1. the action or process of affirming something or being affirmed.

Synonyms: declaration, statement, assertion, proclamation, pronouncement

2. emotional support or encouragement

We make these bracelets from discarded pieces of plumbing pipe. To begin, we measure and cut the pipes into six-inch lengths and crush them with a ten-ton press. That process makes two six-inch strips of copper sheet. We heat them with a torch because getting crushed hardens the metal, and it needs to be soft to work it. At this point the copper sheet is dirty and the inside is full of minerals from the drinking water, so a good soak in vinegar is needed to dissolve some of that calcium. After they dry, we measure and mark the width for bracelets and cut the strips. Next, soften the metal with the torch. We pound the strips straight and flatten them, and measure and stamp each individual letter of the phrase (if there is one) and add texture, patina and maker’s mark. Then, put on mask and gloves and file the sharp edges and do a nice polish all over. Lastly, we form them into cuffs and put them in the tumbler to work harden.

You can find us on Instagram @SimpleWealthArt to see the process and shop our other items.

All bracelets are stamped on a six inch recycled copper bar. The cuffs are formed to include a 1/2 to 1" gap, so they will be approximately 6 1/2 to 7" in diameter and can be adjusted somewhat to be bigger or smaller. The bar width is 1/4 of an inch.

Here is a neat article about affirmations from Psychology Today:

Why Use Affirmations?

People use affirmations for a variety of purposes. Generally speaking, affirmations are used to reprogram the subconscious mind, to encourage us to believe certain things about ourselves or about the world and our place within it. They are also used to help us create the reality we want—often in terms of making (or attracting) wealth, love, beauty, and happiness.

According to Walter E. Jacobson, M.D., there is value in affirmations of this nature, because our subconscious mind plays a major role in the actualization of our lives and the manifestation of our desires. What we believe about ourselves at a subconscious level, he says, can have a significant impact on the outcome of events.

At the simplest level, when we feel good about ourselves and have a positive attitude, our lives tend to run smoothly. Proponents of the “law of attraction” often refer to this is as raising our vibration such that when our vibration is positive, positive things—such as financial abundance, love, and renewed health—are magnetically drawn to us.

On the other hand when we feel bad about ourselves and have a negative attitude, we tend to engage in self-defeating behaviors which may cause negative outcomes, like financial mishap, interpersonal drama, or acute or chronic illness.

Hand stamping uses individual stamps lined up one after the other and hit with a hammer. The letters may not line up perfectly and some letters may be deeper than others. That is what makes it unique. Because of this technique your item may not look identical to the one shown, but it will be equally beautiful.

Due to the recycled nature of this copper, it may be slightly distressed looking. There may be scratches or marks in the metal, or something may not line up exactly perfect. These imperfections are not to be seen as defects, but unique qualities of using recycled or reclaimed metals. We try our best to keep these imperfections to a minimum.

Descending Stones

$36.00

These unique earrings were made from used copper electrical wire.

They feature a cascade of small natural gemstone beads descending along a simple copper bar with a flared end.

The journey from scrap metal to jewelry is a fun and labor intensive process.

To begin, we cut the length of coated wire we need. Then we use a crank powered wire stripper to make a cut the entire length of our wire and using pliers, peel off the tough plastic and rubber coatings. Next, we separate all the strands (electrical wire is most often braided with multiple strands). Then we use a polishing cloth and run it along the length of one wire multiple times to clean and straighten it. After that we are able to use the clean wire to make our designs. We top them off with our handmade nickel free .925 recycled sterling ear wires or 14 Karat Rose Gold ear wires.

Including the ear wires they measure approximately three inches long.

Recycled Cymbal Triangles

$28.00

These simple triangle earrings were made from broken brass drum cymbals.

The process from scrap to jewelry is a fun and labor intensive one. It begins with measuring and drawing the shape we want into the cymbal. Then we cut the shape out (cymbals are very tough and sharp), and punch and drill any needed holes. Then, put on mask and gloves and file the sharp edges and do a nice polish all over. From there, we put everything in the tumbler to further polish and work harden. After that, earrings get their handmade 14 Karat Rose Gold ear wires and matches.

Fold Formed Recycled Copper Bracelet

$45.00

We make these bracelets from discarded pieces of plumbing pipe.

They feature neat designs that are made with a process called fold forming.

First we measure and cut the pipe into six inch lengths, heat them with a torch to soften the metal, and crush them with a ten ton press. That produces two six inch strips of copper sheet. Next we heat them with the torch because getting crushed made the metal harden, and heat softens it. At this point the copper sheet is dirty and the inside is full of minerals from the drinking water, so we soak them in vinegar to dissolve some of that calcium, and give them a good scrub to clean them. After drying, we measure and mark the width needed for bracelets and cut the strips. Heat them with the torch again. In this case we fold them with our hands after they have cooled and pound them flat at the fold. And then heat them, let them cool and open them and pound again. We do that over and over until we have achieved the design we want. Then put on mask and gloves and file the sharp edges and do a nice polish all over. Lastly, we form them into cuffs and put them in the tumbler to work harden.

You can find us on Instagram @SimpleWealthArt to see the process and shop our other items.

All bracelets are stamped on a six inch recycled copper bar. The cuffs are formed to include a 1/2 to 1" gap, so they will be approximately 6 1/2 to 7" in diameter and can be adjusted somewhat to be bigger or smaller.

These unique earrings were made from recycled metals! You can choose copper (from an old pipe) or brass (from a broken drum cymbal).

The journey from scrap metal to jewelry is a fun and labor intensive process. To prepare the copper pipe, we crush it in a ten ton press, and that leaves us with two pieces of usable sheet metal.

We finish them off with our handmade 14 K Rose Gold Fill ear wires.

Our Brass comes from old cymbals. When the drummer has thoroughly abused them to the point of cracking, they hand them off to us! We clean them up, measure and and carefully (they are super sharp) cut them into whatever shape we need. From there it's the same process as the copper pipe.

That process makes two six-inch strips of copper sheet. We heat them with a torch because getting crushed hardens the metal, and it needs to be soft to work it. At this point the copper sheet is dirty and the inside is full of minerals from the drinking water, so a good soak in vinegar is needed to dissolve some of that calcium. After they dry, we measure and mark the width for bracelets and cut the strips. Next, soften the metal with the torch. We pound the strips straight and flatten them, and measure and stamp each individual letter of the phrase (if there is one) and add texture, patina and maker’s mark. Then, put on mask and gloves and file the sharp edges and do a nice polish all over. Lastly, we form them into cuffs and put them in the tumbler to work harden.

Hand stamping uses individual stamps lined up one after the other and hit with a hammer. The letters may not line up perfectly and some letters may be deeper than others. That is what makes it unique. Because of this technique your item may not look identical to the one shown, but it will be equally beautiful.

Due to the recycled nature of this copper, it may be slightly distressed looking. There may be scratches or marks in the metal. These imperfections are not to be seen as defects, but unique qualities of using recycled or reclaimed metals. We try our best to keep these imperfections to a minimum.

This item comes in a Kraft gift box for safe shipping or thoughtful gift giving.

Here is a neat article about affirmations from Psychology Today:

Why Use Affirmations?

People use affirmations for a variety of purposes. Generally speaking, affirmations are used to reprogram the subconscious mind, to encourage us to believe certain things about ourselves or about the world and our place within it. They are also used to help us create the reality we want—often in terms of making (or attracting) wealth, love, beauty, and happiness.

According to Walter E. Jacobson, M.D., there is value in affirmations of this nature, because our subconscious mind plays a major role in the actualization of our lives and the manifestation of our desires. What we believe about ourselves at a subconscious level, he says, can have a significant impact on the outcome of events.

At the simplest level, when we feel good about ourselves and have a positive attitude, our lives tend to run smoothly. Proponents of the “law of attraction” often refer to this is as raising our vibration such that when our vibration is positive, positive things—such as financial abundance, love, and renewed health—are magnetically drawn to us.

On the other hand when we feel bad about ourselves and have a negative attitude, we tend to engage in self-defeating behaviors which may cause negative outcomes, like financial mishap, interpersonal drama, or acute or chronic illness.

Hair Tie Holder Recycled Copper Cuff

$30.00

These bracelets are fold formed to have a concave U shape that perfectly holds your spare hair tie!

We make these bracelets from discarded pieces of plumbing pipe. To begin, we measure and cut the pipes into six-inch lengths and crush them with a ten-ton press. That process makes two six-inch strips of copper sheet. We heat them with a torch because getting crushed hardens the metal, and it needs to be soft to work it. At this point the copper sheet is dirty and the inside is full of minerals from the drinking water, so a good soak in vinegar is needed to dissolve some of that calcium. After they dry, we measure and mark the width for bracelets and cut the strips. Next, soften the metal with the torch. We pound the strips straight and flatten them, and measure and mark a line for the fold, and add a maker’s mark. After that, the copper strip goes in the vise and using the line as a guide, hit it with the mallet to fold it into a V shape. Then, put on mask and gloves and file the sharp edges and do a nice polish all over. Lastly, we form them into cuffs and put them in the tumbler to work harden.

All bracelets are formed on a six inch recycled copper bar and come with a black hair band. The cuffs are made to include a 1/2 to 1" gap, so they will be approximately 6 1/2 to 7" in diameter and can be adjusted somewhat to be bigger or smaller.
