Fretz BT-6 Brass Tube Form- 2" x 1-1/2" Bracelet Cuff

These seamless brass tube forms from Bill Fretz are purpose-built blanks for making formed and hammered cuff bracelets. Crafted from a malleable brass alloy composed of 70% copper and 30% zinc, the tubing is seamlessly extruded, cut to size, edge-finished on a belt sander, annealed, and given a basic tumbled finish — arriving ready for immediate use at the bench.

This BT-6 form measures 2" diameter x 1-1/2" wide and is ideal for average to thin wrists. The 2" diameter size is well-suited for a wide range of bracelet styles, from simple hammered cuffs to more complex formed designs.

Notes

When making convex (domed) forms, doming will reduce the finished diameter of the piece. When making concave forms, the finished diameter is not affected. Plan your forming approach accordingly when fitting to a specific wrist size.
