Two hand-cut brass blades cross at the wrist and meet in a narrow diamond, warm and bright against a double band of darkened silver.

  • Material: Oxidized sterling silver, brass
  • Color: Silver, brass
  • Closure: Open cuff
  • Origin: USA
  • Center detail: 2 x 0.875 in
  • Band: 6.5 in around

The brass edges catch the light in short, evenly spaced notches, giving the front its rhythm. The open silver back flexes to sit close to the wrist, and the two metals read as one composition — architectural, deliberate, unusually graphic for a cuff.
Details
  • Open, adjustable cuff back
  • Oxidized silver finish for tonal contrast against the brass
  • Hand-filed notch detailing along the brass edges
  • Mixed-metal construction

Because each cuff is cut, filed and oxidized by hand, slight variations in brass tone, notch spacing and the depth of the darkened silver are normal from one piece to the next.

The Story

Medina is Arabic for city, and it names the old walled quarters at the historic center of many North African cities — dense, narrow-street districts that are still lived and worked in, not preserved as relics.

The two brass blades cross like intersecting streets, and the notched edges echo the rhythm of a walled skyline read from a distance. Made in the USA rather than sourced from Morocco: an American maker's reading of the form, not a traditional craft object.

The brass is cut from flat sheet stock, shaped by hand and filed along both edges to raise the short even notches. The sterling band is formed into its open cuff, chemically darkened, then worked back at the high points so the recesses stay black against the bright silver.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-cut, hand-filed, chemically oxidized

Wipe with a soft polishing cloth after wear and store in a fabric pouch away from humidity to slow natural retarnishing. Skip metal polish and dip cleaners — they will strip the oxidized finish.

Questions

Will this cuff fit my wrist?

The silver band is open at the back and flexes gently, so it adjusts to fit most wrist sizes.

What does oxidized mean, and will the finish wear off?

Oxidizing is a chemical process that darkens sterling silver on purpose to create contrast with the brass. The darkened areas may soften slightly with wear over time, which is normal for this finish.

Will the brass tarnish?

Brass naturally develops a deeper patina with age and air exposure. Wiping it down after wear and storing it away from moisture slows the process.

Where is this bracelet made?

It is handmade in the USA. The design takes its name and geometry from the medinas, the old walled city quarters found in Morocco.

Can I wear this every day?

Yes, it is built for regular wear. Remove it before swimming or heavy exercise to protect the finish.
