Mimosa Friendship Cuff Ashley
Weaving string and yarn into wearable keepsakes for me and my best friends was one of my favorite things to do as a kid. You could say it was the tiny seed of jewelry-making that became MIMOSA. All the patterns, colors, and styles are perfect for creating endless combinations on long, lazy summer days.
I hope this collection reminds you of your earliest years of creativity when the goal was making and having fun.
This cuff is named "Ashley" after Madeline's cousin. The “Ashley” was made by taking a “boondoggle keychain” mold from narrow, flat plastic lace braided in a box weave.
The SMALL cuff fits up to a 6.75" wrist.
The MEDIUM cuff fits up to a 7.5" wrist.
MIMOSA bracelets are slightly adjustable. The first time you put your new bracelet on, adjust it one time to a size that slips on and off comfortably.
Our jewelry is solid cast metal, so repeated adjusting can cause it to break!
Made by hand in our South Louisiana studio.
Each piece varies slightly due to its handmade nature.
Bronze first: Our bronze is a solid copper + tin alloy, lead free. Copper can react with the natural acids, sweat, and moisture in your skin. Some people may see a harmless green or blue mark. Others never do. It can even vary day to day based on humidity, activity, or hydration. This is normal and not a quality issue.
Tarnish & patina: Bronze darkens over time, just like sterling silver. That "dirty" look is natural oxidation (patina), not damage. A quick polish brings back a warm glow similar to 14k gold at a fraction of the cost. The trade off is a bit of maintenance.
Quick prevention tips:
• Remove before washing hands, swimming, showering, or heavy sweating.
• Dry well after wear.
• Apply a thin coat of clear nail polish or jewelry wax to the inside that touches skin if you are sensitive.
• Polish as needed with a treated jewelry cloth or gentle metal polish.
