🔨 STRUCTURE * I Know * CLEAN LINES AND ANGLES – Inventive – Powerful – Bold – Connective
The Snakeskin Jasper Argentium Cuff blends earthy pattern with crisp, modern lines. Snakeskin Jasper shows a natural, scale-like pattern that feels organic and strong. As the light shifts, the colours read warm and grounded. Paired with bright Argentium silver, the bracelet looks bold, sculptural, and easy to wear every day.
Design & feel
First, I fuse two bands of square Argentium silver wire. Next, I curve them into a fluid oval and build a bezel that fits the stone precisely. Then I solder the setting at centre and refine every edge. The polished finish reflects light across the metal and frames the jasper. As a result, the cuff reads clean and powerful from a distance yet shows detail up close.
About the stone
Snakeskin Jasper often features brick-red, tan, cream, and charcoal tones in a distinctive “snakeskin” pattern. Because each stone forms in nature, markings and hue vary; therefore, every cuff is one-of-a-kind. In addition, this grounded palette pairs well with denim, black, cream, and warm neutrals.

Materials & care
Argentium Silver (940) includes a touch of germanium, so it stays bright, hard, and tarnish-resistant. It is always nickel-free and hypoallergenic for everyday comfort. For patinated pieces, rinse with mild soap and water, pat dry with a soft cloth, and avoid harsh dips or ultrasonic cleaners that can strip the finish.

First, I select a polished Snakeskin Jasper cabochon. Next, I build a bezel cup, solder it to a backplate, and test the fit until it sits perfectly. Then I cut and fuse the cuff wires, form them to hold the bezel, and solder the assembly with clean seams. After that, I polish and tumble the bracelet for strength. Also, I heat-treat the Argentium to raise germanium to the surface; as a result, the finish resists tarnish. Finally, I set the stone and bring the cuff to a mirror shine.
