This bold design is a one of a kind hand-formed metal cuff coated in real snake shed, and is a stunning accessory that takes "earthy" style to the next level. Dress up or down- either way you'll be wearing an adornment that will turn heads, start conversations, and delight the eye of the beholder.

To ensure proper fit, please note the measurements of this product carefully before ordering. Use a fabric tape to measure the circumference of your wrist and then subtract 1" to know your cuff size.

Using snake SHED is ethical and safe for the animal.
What is “Snake Shed”, and how is that different than Snake SKIN? 

A snake's skin does not grow with it, so as it increases in size, it needs to shed its outer layer of scales (including the special scales that cover its eyes!) in order to keep growing.  Healthy snakes will shed in one continuous piece, rolling it off like a sock, emerging from their old skin shiny and new. This is Snake ShedSnake SKIN, on the other hand, is, like leather, harvested by killing the animal.

Check out Shira's Snake Therapy Youtube Channel to learn more about these amazing animals! This bracelet was made using the shed from a Tarahumara Mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis pyromelana knoblochi).

The bracelet has been coated with many layers of lacquer and fixatives to prevent decay and tear.

Care Instructions

The metal has been treated with lacquer and a special wax to preserve the coloration, prevent tarnishing, and prevent scratching to a certain degree. Please keep in mind that elements in the air and natural oils in your skin can eventually erode protection over time. Avoid wearing lotions and perfumes while wearing items that touch your skin directly. If the inside begins to tarnish, you can clean it, and reapply a spray lacquer. Make sure to avoid using a cleaning product or abrasives on the patinated finish, as that cannot be repaired without a refinish and reapplication of the patina. Do not swim or bathe with the jewelry on.
