This pressing is 6" long and 3" wide.   There are 3 cuffs on this pressing so that you can make three 5-31/32" long cuff bracelets. 
 
Metal Maven designed this Tree of Life motif with tiny flowers amongst the leaves and branches to give a springtime feel to the typical tree of life design.
 
Making a cuff bracelet with this pressing:
To make cuff bracelets simply cut around the outside of the borders with a jeweler’s saw or a guillotine shear. Use a file or a bench top belt sander to smooth the edges and round the corners.  Metal Maven used a guillotine shear to cut along the raised cuff border before using a bench top belt sander to smooth the edges.
 
Then apply Liver of Sulfur or your choice of patina following the manufacturer’s instructions to accentuate the beautiful scroll work and tree of life pattern. After applying a patina or darkening agent, use 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper to lightly sand the raised areas to highlight the details.
 
Form the bracelet on a bracelet forming mandrel.
 
Finish by tumbling in a rotary tumbler with stainless steel shot, a little water, and a drop or two of Dawn dishwashing liquid or hand polish with a Sunshine polishing cloth.
