* WE ARE OUT OF THE BLUE G550 METAL AND ARE NOW USING METAL FROM A MERCEDES SL450 IN BRIGHT BLUE.

Our current obsession is with octopuses, so we just had to figure out how to combine them with our other obsession -- luxury cars. We took the metal from the rear door of a Mercedes G550 painted designo mystic blue and cut it into a wide 3" cuff shape. After sanding, polishing, and shaping, we applied an octopus of stamped brass in an antique, classic silver finish. The octopus isn't completely flat against the car metal but seems to emerge from the cuff. The overall impression is that of a sculptural frieze. 

It is not easy to turn car metal into beautiful jewelry. Our artists spend a lot of time ensuring that each CRASH item meets our high standards for quality and design.  

Inside the cuff is a laser-engraved CRASH tag and the name of the car it came from. All CRASH jewelry is one-of-a-kind and handmade in our studio, which is based in a body shop in Los Angeles. Your order will arrive in custom CRASH packaging with a Registration Card.

The octopus is 2 1/2 " x 2 1/2" and has an antique silver finish over brass. The cuff is 3" wide.

How do I know what size Cuff to order?

Use a soft tape measure and wrap it tightly around your wrist above the bone. Note the measurement in inches and subtract 1/2" for the opening gap. For example, if your wrist measures 7" in circumference, you would order a 6.5". Please refer to our size chart and use our drop-down menu to select a size.
If this is a gift, please email us, and we'll help you figure it out. 

Use our Wrist Measuring Tool

It's a gift. I don't know their size.

If you are ordering a cuff as a gift and do not know the recipient's wrist size, we suggest you stealthily locate their watch (assuming they wear a watch.)
Example:  We measured by pressing the entire watch down so it was flat. Then we marked where they fastened their watch (3rd hole from the end). Finally, we measured from just above the buckle to the 3rd hole, approximately 7".

How do I put on a Cuff?

  • 1. Turn your arm up and find a soft point on your inner forearm right above your wrist. (This is also called the flat part of your upper wrist.)
  • 2. Position the cuff in a 'C' shape and press into the soft spot on your forearm.
  • 3. Press gently into the soft spot and roll your arm into the cuff's opening.
  • 4. Slide the cuff down to the bottom of the wrist.
  • You can adjust the tightness of the cuff by gently squeezing it snugly.
  • Most importantly: Do not force the cuff open as rivets may 'pop.'
  • 5. To remove: slide the cuff up to the flat part (soft spot) of your inner forearm and reverse the process.
  • Here is a video (not mine) that does a great job of explaining the technique.
