Unique Handmade Bracelets

The rich weathered patina of time, organic architecture, and the ornamental elegance of a Klimt painting, are just some of the inspirations behind Kirsten’s handmade jewelry - bracelets that have a tale to tell.

Unique Bracelets Handmade To Enhance and Delight

Each piece is carved and shaped by hand to form sensual curves and tactile layers. Designed to pair and stack, handmade bracelets are empowering pieces that can translate your unique personality and tell a story.

Our Commitment

We focus on sustainable practices and a thoughtful slow fashion approach in all our handmade jewelry - bracelets are imbued with curiosity, innovation, and meticulous craft. We work exclusively with 100% recycled precious metals, and conflict-free stones, ensuring our collection is unique and environmentally conscious.


Styling

Get creative with your bracelet stack. Use your intuition and imagination to pair organic bangles and unusual cuff bracelets. The mix of metals and finishes ensures that these bracelets will complement rather than compete, making them the perfect accessories for everyday wear or special occasions.


Caring

To keep your handmade bracelets looking their best, remove them before swimming to prevent exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Avoid excessive bending of the pieces to prevent metal fatigue and damage to the jewelry.

Clean bracelets with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or oil. Store it in a fabric-lined box or sealed plastic bag when not in use. Over time, pieces will develop a unique patina that reflects the story of their life and yours.

Design Philosophy

“In the studio, every creation is a journey where every element is considered. From the handmade clasps to my hand-scribed signature, each detail becomes part of the story. I create jewelry that I want to wear, pieces I dream about, that make me feel as if I’ve just discovered and unearthed some rare treasure.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your bracelets adjustable?

All KMJ bracelets can be customized, adjusted, or sized by the artists to fit any wrist. Bangles can be made larger or smaller and for the cuff styles with a more rigid structure, Kirsten offers custom adjustments based on your individual wrist measurements. Simply include your sizing information in the notes at checkout, or contact us for sizing assistance.

Can I request a matching set?

Absolutely! I love creating coordinating sets that can be worn together or mixed and matched to suit your style and mood. Whether you're looking for a matching set of bangles, a pair of complementary cuffs, or a bracelet and ring set, Kirsten can work with you to design a custom set that meets your vision.

Can I shower with these bracelets?

I suggest removing all jewelry before taking a shower or going swimming. Chlorine and salt in water can accelerate corrosion and damage most metals.

Are these handmade bracelets durable?

Yes, KMJ's unique handmade bracelets are sculpted using 100% recycled sterling silver, 10k gold, brass, and bronze. These are known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear.

Kirsten also employs time-honored metalsmithing techniques to create bracelets with aesthetically pleasing and strong joints and clasps.

With proper care and storage, your handmade bracelet will remain a cherished, long-lasting addition to your jewelry collection.

Is it OK to wear a bracelet on each wrist?

Yes, when selecting pieces for each wrist, consider designs with complementary metals, textures, and designs. Pair a chunky, oxidized silver cuff on one wrist with a stack of delicate, hammered gold bangles on the other.

Alternatively, you could opt for a symmetrical look by wearing matching bracelets on both wrists. The key is to experiment with different combinations until you find a look that showcases your unique personal style.

Should bracelet be tight or loose?

The perfect bracelet fit allows for comfortable movement without slipping off. Aim for a snug but not constricting fit, with room for one or two fingers between your wrist and the bracelet.

Many KMJ designs can also be worn slightly looser, allowing them to slide freely along your wrist or even up your arm. We can adjust the fit based on your preferred style and comfort level.

What size bracelet fits most?

The average size of handmade bracelets for women typically falls between 6.5 and 7 inches. However, wrist and hand sizes can vary greatly, which is why KMJ offers custom sizing on all bracelet styles.
