Antique Oxidized Rajasthani Handcuff – Broad Tribal Cuff

This antique oxidized Rajasthani handcuff is a broad open cuff designed to make an impression through its substantial shape and detailed metalwork. Its antique silver finish gives the piece a worn, old-world appearance, while the broad surface provides plenty of space for the intricate engraving to stand out.

A defining feature of the cuff is its traditional Chitai work, with detailed hand-engraving covering the metal surface. This gives the otherwise bold form a more intricate character and reflects the skill involved in traditional metalworking. The cuff is handcrafted by local artisans, or karigars, using traditional techniques.

The oxidized silver-toned finish works particularly well with the engraved surface, bringing out the depth of the design rather than giving the cuff a bright, highly polished appearance. Its broad profile also gives it a strong presence when worn.

Heavy, bold and distinctly tribal-bohemian, this Rajasthani handcuff is a statement piece for those who prefer jewellery with an aged metal character and visible craftsmanship. It can stand on its own as a focal piece rather than needing a collection of accessories around it.
