The Statement Cuff

I went through the trial & error and now you don't have to

Seriously, it can take months. How do I know? Because that’s how long it took me to learn to do this. And now after years of honing my skill, I’m here to teach you all of that experience. I’ve grown so tired of seeing fellow makers struggle to get the results they desire- I won’t stand for it anymore! Inside of The Statement Cuff Course we will go over each step required to build your very own unique statement cuff, one step at a time. You will have a first person point of view, so not a single detail will be missed. If you’re looking to learn what it takes to create your dream cuff, allow me to be the first to welcome you in.

Maybe at this point you persevere and press forward. You find some success but overall you’re not satisfied with the result- there is more work to be done.

Maybe you continue to push until you discover the steps, or maybe you throw in the towel and leave the piece on the bench to get to at
another time

Have you been there?
Because I HAVE. More times than I care to count. Being a self-taught smith is not for the weak. It takes time, determination, and at most times-an iron will. I knew in my bones that I wanted to create statement cuffs. I saw them all over social media and I wanted in on it. But I’d never been taught

I found blips here and there on how to make stacker cuffs, but what about statements? What about making them in the style in which I *wanted* to make them?

Crickets

I came up empty handed.

So I pushed. I played around with different methods, failed a lot, and continued to push. Until finally I got it.

After months of trying I had figured out how to make statement cuffs!
Now after years of making them, it’s time that I teach YOU.
Skip over the endless searches.
Skip over the hours of trial and error.
Save money on materials and join me inside to learn how it’s done.

Now other people will be perusing the internet and come across YOUR work and wonder “how did they DO that?”

If you’ve been around here for a little while you may have heard me say this before- The internet and google searches are a bottomless pit.

Something that I recently realized is that there are a lot of tidbits that you can find to begin learning (although not as many in-depth options). But when it comes time to learn how to make BIGGER pieces, or to create on-trend works, there really isn’t anything that can take you to the next level with clear step-by-step guidance...

The Statement Cuff Course is the only online content that I’ve seen of its kind.

Learning how to create a cuff like this took me months of trial and error:

• How do you make a big cuff shank like that?
• What’s the best wire to use?
• How do you know how big to make it?

I learned all of these answers and so many more, and I’m sharing them ALL with you inside the course.

What about working with big shark’s teeth? Or shark’s teeth in general? Maybe you have no desire to ever include a shark’s tooth in any of your work!

This course is still for you.

I have *many* favorite sections within this content- one of them is teaching you how to customize your bezel height to fit all of those irregular, organic-shaped cabochons (or anything with a flat back that you can bezel-set for that matter).

I chose a Megalodon tooth of course because I’m the Shark Tooth Queen, but aside from that I selected it because they’re incredibly hard to work with!

The lessons taught with the shark tooth are concepts that you can use for any stone as you grow in your jewelry-making. Personally, I use the same skills constantly at my bench- shark tooth or not. A stone shape that nearly always needs a custom-height bezel is the teardrop/pear shape, and almost all cabs with a right angle. These lessons will make setting those stones a breeze!

Don’t know how to build bezels or set stones? We go over it in detail! The Statement Cuff Course is fully loaded with PDFs that explain each video teaching in further detail, there are visual aid PDFs to help anchor concepts, closed captions, an extensive and clickable tools and equipment list as well as materials list.

There has been no stone left unturned! This course will immediately offer a safe space to learn and grow your craft in a way that I haven’t seen duplicated.

You will have a first-person view of every step of the process from start to finish. I think that this feature alone makes this online container better than being in an in-person course. You won't need to compete for a view!

Yours to revisit again and again, I believe that The Statement Cuff Course is the perfect place to receive expert instruction in as close to a 1:1 setting as possible. The course is taught without fancy equipment and is easy for the self-taught smith to follow along and learn.

My favorite part? It’s lighthearted. Smithing should be fun, and I'm here to remind you of that every step the way.
