Hinge Bracelet 2.1

This set features a bangle bracelet which is bolted onto the wrist using the accompanying driver necklace. It is intended to be worn for extended periods; months if not years. This is not an easy piece to put on or take off but is quite comfortable to wear. I drafted the original on paper then in CAD. The metal layers are waterjet cut to spec, the sex bolts are machined to spec, all here in Maine. All assembly and finishing is done in house as is the CNC cutting of the boxes. It is possible to put the bracelet on one’s self, but much easier with a friend’s assistance. Use the driver to loosen the bolt. Use the end of the bolt to push out the nut, noting the slot in the head of the nut and the corresponding hole on the bracelet’s surface. Hinge the bracelet open, then closed again, making sure that the layers interlock so that the outside surfaces are flush. Practice re-inserting the nut a few times, and then put it on. Before tightening be sure that the slot in the head of the nut is fit around the corresponding pin. Hand tighten, and then use the driver necklace to finish, getting it as tight as you can without the driver slipping. In an emergency a coin can be used to loosen the bolt, though it may damage the head. The cord on the Driver Necklace is marine grade machine braided nylon which I wax in house and finished with signature sister clasps. It will fade to a pale grey with wear, based on your lifestyle. Leave a note at checkout to request a different cord color. 22” circumference including clasps.

To determine your wrist size measure at the thinnest point, snug but not tight.  For more information on sizing please visit the FAQ page under the INFO tab.
