Fretz BT-2 Brass Tube Form- 2-1/4" x 7/8" Bracelet Cuff

These seamless brass tube forms from Bill Fretz are precision-cut from extruded tubing and ready to use as cuff bracelet blanks. Made from 20 gauge (0.81 mm) brass composed of 70% copper and 30% zinc, each blank is cut to size, edge-finished on a belt sander, annealed, and given a basic tumbled finish. The result is a malleable, workable blank that accepts forming, hammering, and surface treatment with minimal prep.

This BT-2 size measures 2-1/4" in diameter by 7/8" wide, making it well-suited for larger wrist sizes. Available alongside 2" diameter versions and in multiple widths, these blanks give metalsmiths and jewelers the flexibility to produce formed and hammered cuff bracelets for a range of wrist sizes.

Keep in mind: when making convex (domed) forms, the doming process will reduce the finished diameter. When making concave forms, the finished diameter is not affected.
