About this Item: Verdigris Patina Solid Brass Decorative Dragonfly Cuff - Genuine Garnet. Each Dragonfly Cuff Style Bracelet measures 1 inch wide. All our Elaine Coyne Dragonfly Cuffs are One Size Fits All. Each Dragonfly Cuff bracelet features Garnet Semi-precious stones. Each Dragonfly Cuff is made by an artisan trained by Elaine Coyne, and every piece is crafted the same way fine sculpture is done with heat, torches, and fine sweeping of elements that provide the secret formula that allows Elaine Coyne to stand apart from other designers. No painted patina is ever a part of an Elaine Coyne Dragonfly Cuff.

Humble Beginnings: The world has dramatically changed since 1974 when Elaine Coyne and a small staff started a collectible artwear business in a small studio in downtown Boston. They packed up their creative art line and wrote orders with pen and paper, handing one piece of paper to the gallery owner and another to the salesperson who represented their arty cuffs, original earrings, limited edition necklaces, and designer belts, which in turn gave them permission to ship the gallery in a timely manner. The reorder level was generally a week to one month, and they became an established go-to company for galleries and better boutiques nationally. It was very exciting.

Art History Background and Patina Brass and Bronze Jewelry: In the 80's, Elaine Coyne started doing one-of-a-kind patina brass and bronze jewelry and belt buckles. This process was adapted from her studies at Harvard University in Boston, San Miguel de Allende School of art in Mexico, and Penland School in North Carolina. The process of coloration on sculpture that costs tens of thousands of dollars seemed like a natural for her.

A Growing Market and Collectible Artwear: Due to the uniqueness of their artwear, Elaine Coyne's company has remained in demand, creating a new market for them. Their Classic Sea Turtle Verdigris Patina Pendant, shown on Triple Rawhide Leather Cording, fits 16" to 18". They also offer a Hand Forged Copper Dragonfly Cuff with the addition of Delicate Brass Filigree and a Wonderful Brass Dragonfly with their Patented Torched Patina.

Elaine Coyne Collectible Artwear is Special to the Jewelry World: Elaine Coyne is a sculptor who started her business in 1974 and remains an important part of her creations. Her son Sheriden and business partner and manager of production, Richard Turner, are in charge of day-to-day operations. All of their artwear collections are based on Art History and artists, and they follow fashion trends as part of the makeup of yearly additions of color and style.
