- Rope texture running the full length of every link, framing a smooth raised centre that takes the light
- Solid 99.9% pure copper — no plating to go grey along the underside where it rests on a desk
- No nickel in it, which is the metal men's plated bracelets most often react through
- Open at the back and adjustable, so there is no clasp for him to fight with one-handed
He won't tell you he's stopped wearing it
That is the difficulty with buying jewellery for a man. He'll say it's smart, he'll put it on, and then one week you'll notice it is on the windowsill by the kettle and it has been there a fortnight. He won't mention the grey patch on the underside, or the band of pink skin the last one left, or that the clasp took him three goes every morning. He'll just quietly stop.
Scree takes those three reasons away. There is no plating on it to wear through, no nickel in it to react to, and no clasp to get right before his first cup of tea.
- Nothing to go grey: solid copper through the links, not a coating over something else
- Nothing to react to: no nickel, the most common jewellery contact allergen there is
- Nothing to fasten: open-backed, so it goes on and comes off one-handed
One size, open-backed, adjustable to most men's wrists. £24.99 at the moment, down from £49.98.
Why the usual presents for him end up in the drawer
ENGRAVED
The engraved keepsake with the message on the back
Lovely to give, difficult to wear. A man who isn't used to jewellery feels self-conscious in something that is clearly a sentiment, and it tends to live in the sock drawer being meaningful. A plain textured band he can wear without explaining doesn't have that problem.
CLASPED
The heavy steel chain with the fold-over clasp
It looks the part in the box and weighs like a proper thing. Then he has to do it up with the hand that is already wearing it, every single morning, usually while running late. Two weeks of that and it stays off.
COATED
The copper-look bracelet from the market stall
It's a copper-coloured skin over a cheaper metal, and the underside is where it fails — the part that drags across a desk, a steering wheel, a workbench. Once that goes silvery there's no bringing it back, because there was never any copper under it.
Solid copper against the plated men's bracelet he already owns
Buy more than one and the price comes down again
This is a live discount on the shop, not a code to remember. It is taken off automatically at the checkout, and it comes off on top of the half-price sale that is already running.
2 pieces — 10% off
One for him and one for yourself, or two of these for a father and a son. Ten per cent comes off the basket automatically.
3 pieces — 15% off
Three pieces and it's fifteen per cent. Useful if you are getting Christmas out of the way early — they don't have to be the same piece.
4 pieces — 20% off
Four or more takes twenty per cent off the whole basket, stacked on the sale price. No code, no claiming it back afterwards.
How it's put together
Rope texture the full length of each link
Not a border at the ends — it runs edge to edge along every link, which is the slow part of making it. That texture is also what hides the everyday scuffs a plain polished band shows straight away.
A raised centre, left smooth
The middle of each link stands slightly proud of the rope edges and is finished smooth, so it catches the light in one clean line down the wrist instead of glittering all over.
99.9% pure copper, no nickel
One metal, nothing plated over it, no nickel anywhere in it. Copper is also naturally antimicrobial as a metal — that is a property of the material itself, and we make no claim about what it does for the wearer.

Common questions
Will it mark his skin green?
It can leave a faint green tint on some people, and we'd rather be straight about it. It's the copper reacting with the natural acids in skin — harmless, a mark rather than a rash, and soap and water takes it off in seconds. Men who work outside or get warm hands tend to see it more. A thin coat of clear lacquer painted inside the band cuts it right down if he'd rather not have it at all.
I don't know his wrist size. Will it fit?
Almost certainly. There is one size and the band is open at the back, so he widens it slightly for a looser fit or presses it gently closer for a snugger one. It suits most men's wrists as it comes, and adjusting takes a couple of seconds.
He's reacted to bracelets before. Is this different?
It may well be. Nickel is the most common jewellery contact allergen, and it turns up in a lot of plated men's jewellery. There is none in this — it is 99.9% pure copper and nothing else. We can't promise how any one person's skin behaves, but the usual culprit isn't in it.
Can he wear it for work?
Yes — it's built for that rather than for a jewellery box. The rope texture disguises knocks, and anything that does dull can be polished out because the copper goes all the way through. We'd take it off for heavy lifting, the same as any bracelet.
How does he clean it?
Half a lemon dipped in salt, rubbed over the band, then rinsed and dried on a tea towel. About a minute. Most men leave it to darken, which suits the piece — the patina settles into the rope texture and makes it stand out.
Can I return it if he doesn't like it?
Yes. 30 days, free UK delivery, and no awkwardness about it. If it isn't him, send it back and we'll refund it.

★★★★★
Christine D., 68
"Bought it for my husband, who has never worn a bracelet in his life. He's had it on six weeks. I think it's because he doesn't have to do anything to get it on."
★★★★★
Diane C., 63
"Got this for my son-in-law after the last one I bought him went grey underneath within months. This one has just gone darker, which he says he prefers anyway."
