Key features & specs

This piece utilizes a heritage technique to transform reclaimed materials into high-end fashion.

How it compares

Typically, brass jewelry in this category is mass-produced in factories without oversight, whereas Soko uses a decentralized artisan model. While synthetic gold-plated alternatives might offer a lower price point, they lack the weight and durability of solid upcycled brass. Compared to recycled gold vermeil, The Perfect Cuff offers a more accessible entry point into sustainable luxury without the environmental toll of fresh mining.

How to use it

1. Gently slide the opening over the thinnest part of your wrist rather than pulling the metal apart.
2. Position the cuff mid-forearm or at the wrist bone depending on your sleeve length.
3. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and chlorinated water to preserve the shine.
4. Polish with a soft microfiber cloth regularly to remove oils and prevent natural patination.
5. Store in its original cloth pouch to prevent scratches from other jewelry pieces.
6. Stack with thinner bands for a curated, layered look or wear solo for a minimalist statement.

The brand’s B Corp status ensures rigorous accountability regarding environmental footprint and labor rights.

Frequently asked questions

Is The Perfect Cuff worth it?

The Perfect Cuff is worth it because it combines high-quality upcycled materials with a fair-trade model that ensures long-term durability and social impact. It outlasts cheaper alloys found in fast-fashion boutiques.

Does Soko jewelry tarnish over time?

Yes, as it is made of natural upcycled brass, it will develop a unique patina over time unless polished regularly. This is a characteristic of the raw metal rather than a defect.

How does this brass cuff compare to gold-plated jewelry?

Unlike gold-plated items that eventually flake, The Perfect Cuff is made of solid brass that can be polished back to its original state indefinitely. It offers a similar aesthetic to 14k gold at a fraction of the cost.

Is The Perfect Cuff adjustable?

The design allows for slight adjustment by gently squeezing or widening the opening to fit your wrist comfortably. However, excessive bending should be avoided to prevent metal fatigue.

Is this product vegan?

Yes, The Perfect Cuff is 100% vegan as it is constructed entirely from upcycled metal and contains no animal-derived components or polishes. It is an ideal animal-free accessory choice.
