Product Details

One strip of brass, folded back on itself, makes this cuff. The fold sets two wavy bands side by side, and a run of fine diagonal lines worked across the face catches the light each time the wrist turns. It comes from the brass-working cluster of Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh, shaped by hand rather than cast. The back stays open so it eases on from the side, and because it is solid brass in its natural finish, it slowly deepens to a soft patina the longer you wear it.

Materials & Care

Solid brass, handmade and built to last. Keep away from water and perfume to slow tarnishing. Wipe with a soft dry cloth; a light patina is natural and can be polished back if you prefer the brighter finish.

Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations in colour, texture and dimension are natural and celebrate its handmade origin.

Two wavy bands that look like a small stack, made from a single piece. That is the trick of this cuff, and it decides how to wear it.

Everyday: Wear it alone on a bare wrist with a white cotton kurta, a linen shirt, or a plain tee and denim. The double band already gives the effect of layered bangles, so there is no need to add more. It sits low and close enough to slip under a rolled sleeve.
Work: The waves keep it soft rather than severe, which suits a structured blouse or a solid-colour kurta set at the office. Keep the other hand bare, or wear a slim leather-strap watch there instead of on the same wrist.
Festive and occasion: Against a handloom saree in rust, bottle green, indigo, or off-white, the brass reads warm and the diagonal lines on its face pick up lamp light. Pair it with small brass studs or one pendant. Skip heavy glass bangles on the same arm. The ribbon shape gets lost in a crowd.
Mixing metals: Brass sits easily beside gold, copper, and other brass. Next to bright silver it can look accidental, so if you mix, make the contrast deliberate and keep one metal per arm.
Fit and wearing: The cuff is open at the back. Slide it on sideways over the narrowest part of the wrist, then turn it so the waves sit on top.

If it feels loose, press the two ends inward a little with both thumbs. Do this gently and rarely, because brass gets stiffer each time it is bent.

A note on wear: Take it off for hand-washing, swimming, and the gym. Moisture and sweat speed up darkening, and a dry cuff keeps its glow far longer.

The whole idea of this cuff is a fold. There is no joint, no solder, and no second piece. One strip of brass is bent back on itself and then shaped into waves, so everything you see comes from a single length of metal.

Cutting the strip: The maker cuts a long, wide strip from brass sheet and squares off its ends. It is measured to allow for the fold, both bands, and the wrist curve before anything is bent.
Softening the metal: Brass stiffens as it is worked. Bend it cold too often and it cracks. Before a bend this tight, workshops usually heat the strip and let it cool, a step called annealing, so the metal folds cleanly instead of cracking along the crease.
The fold and the waves: The strip is doubled over at one end, which turns one band into two running side by side. Each band is then worked over a rounded stake with pliers and a mallet, pushing in the soft waves you see along its length, and the maker has to keep both waves rising and falling in step without the bands touching. Slow work.
The line texture: A run of fine diagonal lines is worked across the face of both bands, most often with a small chisel-edged punch or a file. They give the smooth brass a grain.
Curving and finishing: The folded strip is bent around a round form into the open oval of a wrist, every cut edge is filed back until nothing can scratch or snag a sleeve, and the whole surface is then burnished by hand to bring up its natural golden tone.

How to tell it is handmade: Run a finger along the waves. They keep a close rhythm but are never exact, and the spacing of the diagonal lines usually shifts a little from one end of the band to the other. A stamped or cast cuff repeats itself perfectly. This one does not.

The cuff comes from the brass-working cluster of Sambhal, in western Uttar Pradesh, close to the metalworking centre of Moradabad.

What is a cuff bracelet, and how is the Ribbon Fold different?

A cuff bracelet is a rigid, open band that slips onto the wrist from the side instead of closing with a clasp. The Ribbon Fold takes that idea and makes it from one strip of brass folded back on itself, so it wears as two wavy bands joined into a single piece.

Do cuff bracelets stay on?

A cuff bracelet stays on well when it sits on the narrow part of the wrist, just above the wrist bone. The open back of this cuff can be eased slightly closer for a snug hold, and the two bands give it a wider seat on the wrist than a single thin band.

Is it good to wear brass bangles and cuffs?

Brass is a safe everyday metal for most people, and a brass cuff like this one is chosen mainly for its warm colour and handmade character. Claims that brass treats health conditions are traditional beliefs rather than proven medicine, so buy it for the craft, not as a remedy.

Is the Ribbon Fold Brass Cuff solid brass or plated?

The Ribbon Fold Brass Cuff is solid brass, shaped by hand from a single strip. The surface darkens with wear and can be polished back to gold.

Will the folded shape bend or lose its waves?

The folded shape holds firmly in normal wear, because brass stiffens as it is worked and the doubled band adds strength. Avoid repeatedly prying the ends wide or squeezing them tight, since constant bending in one spot is what tires any metal.

Can a brass cuff turn my skin green?

A brass cuff can leave a faint green or dark mark on some skin, especially in heat or after sweating, because the copper in brass reacts with moisture. The mark is harmless and washes off with soap. Wiping the inside of the cuff and keeping it dry cuts it down a lot.

How do I clean the diagonal line texture on this brass cuff?

To clean this brass cuff, wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear, and use a soft toothbrush with a little brass cleaner, or lemon and salt, to reach into the fine diagonal lines. Rinse quickly, dry it completely, and store it in a pouch away from damp.

Should I let the patina build or keep the cuff bright?

Patina is the darker, softer tone brass develops with air and wear, and on this cuff it tends to settle into the line texture first, which makes the lines stand out. If you prefer the bright gold look, a brass cleaner brings it back in a few minutes. Either finish is normal for natural brass.

Can men wear this cuff, or wear it as an arm cuff?

This cuff has a clean, unisex shape, and the wave pattern works as well with a plain shirt as with a saree. It is shaped as a wrist cuff, so contact My E-Haat for the inner width before ordering it for a larger wrist or the upper arm.

Are cuff bracelets in style in 2026?

Cuff bracelets remain a steady part of jewellery styling in 2026, especially sculptural brass pieces worn alone rather than in big stacks. A single-strip design like the Ribbon Fold suits that look, since its double wave gives the effect of a stack in one piece.

Is the Ribbon Fold Brass Cuff a good gift?

The Ribbon Fold Brass Cuff is an easy gift because the open back fits a range of wrists without needing an exact size. The folded wave shape looks considered without being loud, and it suits birthdays, Diwali, and thank-you gifts alike.
