The Iconic Mother sits in the center, with two roses on each side.. The finish is antiqued, spilling out some beautiful silver/gray tones!! What is soooo cool, is the interior(See photo 2) that says”GUIA Y PROTE JEME”(Translation=GUIDE & PROTECT ME). It measures 3/8″ tall with an interior measurement of 51/4 with a 1″ gap (=61/4″ total), so this should be able to fit a 6 to a 61/2″ wrist(Please read below before purchasing on “How to fit a Cuff”) The gauge is not so heavy that the gap cannot be opened a little more or closed down some, as long as you are careful doing so & your wrist, if not exact, is close to the measurement. Remember, the interior measurement stays the same, while the gap can be adjusted.. Weighs just under an ounce, at 24.7 grams.. Also, in the interior is hallmarkedDel. Corazón”, Elgin Tom, Sterling”. Ould make a wonderful gift for the woman who loves all things GUADALUPE & with a “Folk Art, Latin Feel”!!!

Please know your wrist size before ordering, since I do not take pieces back that do not properly fit & if I can help, please contact me. I will do my best to answer any questions… How to fit a cuff. The best way to get a good fit is to measure a cuff bracelet you already have that fits you well. The total inside circumference is the inside circumference of the bracelet from end to end plus the gap (the distance between the ends)If you don’t have a cuff bracelet , then measure your wrist where you want to wear the bracelet. Cut a strip of paper approximately 8 long and as wide as the bracelet you would like to wear. Wrap the paper around your wrist where you would wear the bracelet. You might secure the paper with a piece of tape to get a better feel of the fit. Remove the paper and measure from the end to the mark for the circumference of your wrist. EXAMPLE: If the inside Circumference end to end is 5″ and the Gap is 1″, the total inside Circumference would be 6″ and would be suitable for a wrist approximately 5 3/4″ to 6 1/4 depending on how tight or loose you like to wear your bracelets. Remember the interior measurement does not change, but the gap can be adjusted, either by yourself or your jeweler, depending on the thickness of the gauge. A cuff should not’roll’ around on your wrist(Too loose), nor should you see flesh hanging over the edge(Too tight) Always put the cuff on above the wrist bone where it is fleshy, then bring it down to wrist. And NEVER “squeeze” to tighten!! You will lose the integrity of the metal & if there are stones, they can loosen.. Rather, turn your wrist over, push down on one end, push down on the other.. Go easy, if the gauge is lighter.. If you are looking down at your wrist, with the bracelet on the arm as if you are wearing it, you should NOT be able to put a finger up under it, If so, It is WAY to big!
