Art Bracelets and Cuffs
The wrist provides an exceptional canvas for polymer clay artistry. Movement, light, and the wearer's gestures all contribute to the experience of a well-designed bracelet. Elise Winters has developed several distinct bracelet families, each exploring different aspects of form and surface.
Boa Bangle Collection
The Boa Bangle series takes inspiration from organic wrapped and coiled forms. These substantial bangles make bold statements while remaining comfortable for daily wear.
The Big Blue Boa Bangle exemplifies the collection - a sinuous form that wraps the wrist with confident elegance. The Frosted Boa Bangles offer a softer interpretation with matte surfaces that contrast beautifully with the glossy luminous finishes.
Bangles are available in multiple sizes to ensure a perfect fit. The slight flexibility of polymer clay allows for comfortable on-and-off movement while maintaining structural integrity.
Ruffle Cuff Designs
The Ruffle Cuff collection explores the dramatic possibilities of layered, undulating forms. These sculptural bracelets suggest natural forms - coral formations, fungal brackets, or wind-blown fabric frozen in time.
The Woodland Ruffle Cuff incorporates earth tones and organic textures that evoke forest floor elements. The Cool Jewel variation plays with cooler palette choices, creating pieces that feel fresh and contemporary.
Ruffle Cuffs are statement pieces best worn alone or with simple complementary jewelry. Their sculptural presence draws attention and invites touch.
Cinch Bracelet Family
The Cinch design concept appears across multiple interpretations. These bracelets feature a distinctive gathered or pinched central element that creates visual focus and comfortable fit.
The Garden Cinch celebrates botanical abundance with floral-inspired forms. The Autumn Cinch translates seasonal color palettes into wearable art. The Scallop Cinch draws from marine shell patterns.
The Open Cinch Bracelet offers an adjustable fit, making it an excellent gift choice when sizing is uncertain.
Skinner Inner Collection
Named after the pioneering polymer clay artist Judith Skinner, the Skinner Inner bracelets showcase the Skinner Blend technique - a method for creating smooth color gradations in polymer clay.
These bracelets feature seamless color transitions that shift as the eye travels around the form. The technical mastery required for these pieces is considerable, making them prized among collectors who understand the craft.
Practical Considerations
All bracelets are designed for comfortable daily wear. Polymer clay is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and maintains stable temperatures against the skin. The material develops a beautiful patina with wear while remaining easy to clean.
Sizing typically follows standard bracelet measurements, with custom sizing available for those with specific requirements. See the care guide for maintenance instructions.
