Steinberger Studio Bubblegum Pink Lucite Aperture Cuff Hand-Poured Tapered Sculptural Bangle Bracelet Petite Vintage Sizing








Steinberger Studio Bubblegum Pink Lucite Aperture Cuff Hand-Poured Tapered Sculptural Bangle Bracelet Petite Vintage Sizing
Materials and Features:
Sculptural Tapered Apertures: A precision-engineered design featuring three hand-finished "through-hole" windows. These apertures are uniquely beveled on the front face to create a rhythmic, architectural depth that captures and refracts light through the translucent material.
Studio-Poured "Single-Face" Casting: This piece utilizes an open-mold casting logic where the front face is meticulously hand-polished and beveled while the reverse remains flush. This asymmetrical engineering is a definitive signature of small-batch boutique studio labor rather than mass-market molding.
High-Density "Oily" Lucite: Crafted from authentic mid-century acrylic (PMMA) characterized by a superior clarity and a "greasy" or "oily" internal luster. The material exhibits microscopic internal stress crazing—the forensic timestamp of high-grade vintage Lucite from the mid-1960's.
Floating Material Inclusions: A rare forensic "treasure" featuring both a surface-level pigment glob and a fully encased, floating internal spec. These particulates are trapped within the Lucite during the liquid pour, serving as a hallmark of the hand-crafted studio environment where materials were recycled and artisanal logic prevailed.
Lightweight Studio Engineering: Despite its bold sculptural presence, this cuff maintains a comfortable weight of approx. 16.9g. This specific density offers a substantial visual impact without the heavy, cumbersome feel of solid-pour blocks.
Type: Continuous cuff bracelet with a secure, custom-feel "wiggle-on" fit for petite wrist sizes.
