Modern cuff bracelets fabricated from forged steel wire that has been brazed together with brass and accented with small balls of recycled 10K yellow gold. Approximately 1/2 inch wide. Steel has been sealed to resist rust and protected the blackened color. It is fine to wear steel jewelry while washing hands, doing dishes or in the rain but it is not recommended to wear in the pool or other activities that will expose the metal to water for an extended period of time.
