Gold Tone Vintage Ayurvedic Mixed Metals Copper Brass Open Cuff, 6.5”

Warning: This bracelet is rigid, meaning if you intend to wear it, your wrist should measure 6 1/2” or less. 
 
We believe this cuff bracelet was acquired along with two others from India by our grandmother in the 1930s, where Ayurvedic medicine practitioners believed mixed metal bracelets have healing properties. Copper may reduce stress, pain and inflammation, as well as improve the immune system. Brass may improve the metabolic system and stimulate energy flow.
 
This particular bracelet features geometric ‘leaves’ in different metals all heading for the central floral bud. The bracelet includes three colors of metal – a gold tone metal, a darkwood colored metal, and a redder metal. It is rougher than our others, with a cracked section in the center and interesting inconsistencies in the metalwork / pockmarks near the cuffs (see photos). We learned this piece should be cleaned with toothpaste or soap and lemon juice.
