The Powder Point Cuff
The Powder Point Cuff
The Powder Point Cuff measures 1/4 inch in width and is an open bracelet finished with my hand made end-caps. Please note, colors of end caps varies by bracelet. Each pair are unique and one of a kind.
Handmade in the traditional Nantucket style, your one of a kind Powder Point bracelet has one stave, just like Powder Point has one destination, the beach!
One size fits ALL for cuff bracelets. Adjustable by gently squeezing end caps together (to make smaller) or by pulling sides out with two hands (to make larger). Please reach out if you have any special sizing requests
The average length of a cuff is 6 inches.
I use all natural materials to weave your bracelet, the base is made of surgical steel or copper and is finished with a coat of sealant for protection.
A Shipyard Reed bracelet is all natural and sensitive to water. Bathing or swimming while wearing a Shipyard original Reed bracelet is not advised. Please check out my Watersafe Nantucket™️ collection for the water friendly option.
Each bracelet is made of natural materials and color variations may vary and change over time.
Gift packaging is included with your purchase, each jewelry box has a printed watercolor of Powder Point Bridge, originally painted by Anne, your Artist.
As well as a hand printed fabric pouch, an original hard carved design also made by Anne. Each gift is truly a customized work of Art. Enjoy the gift giving experience made with LOVE!
Each bracelet comes with a story card, describing why Anne picked this special name to go with your special Art piece!
Hand Woven in Duxbury Ma, a coastal town famous for OUR 2,200 foot long wooden bridge.“The Powder Point”.
“Duxbury’s 2,200-foot wooden bridge was originally constructed in 1892. After sustaining fire damage in 1985, it was rebuilt the following year. Also known as Duxbury Bridge, Gurnet Bridge, Black River Bridge, Long Bridge, and King Caesar Road Bridge. Small boat access to Duxbury Bay is available at the western end of the bridge.
According to Dorothy Wentworth’s Settlement and Growth of Duxbury 1628-1870, the name’s origin is unknown. It was written as “Poulder Point” on a 1637 land grant to George Soule, a Pilgrim. The original European settlers on Powder Point were George Soule, John Peterson and Henry Sampson.”
