Illegitimi Non Carborundum Bracelet

$18.00

"Don't let the bastards grind you down" with this hand stamped Latin bracelet. Interestingly enough this is a mock-Latin aphorism which originated during WWII by British army intelligence.

ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM

*Aluminum is our most popular because it is lightweight, extremely low skin reaction rate, won't tarnish & will not turn your skin green!
*Sterling Silver, Brass, and Copper have a little more weight to them. They will both oxidize naturally over time. Copper will also react to the oils in your skin and may turn skin green. Sterling can be buffed to a shine again so if you purchase Sterling, a small polishing cloth tab will be included with your order.
- Band measures about 6 inches (about 15 cm) from end to end and is adjustable to fit most size wrists
- 1/4 inch tall (6.25mm) (2/3 cm)

We personally hand cut every piece, so they are not meant to look machine made, and hand stamp each letter/character one at a time, so text may not be perfectly straight, resulting in your very own uniquely handmade piece :)

What metals do you work with?

Will my jewelry tarnish?

Aluminum will not tarnish and is hypoallergenic.

Sterling, brass and copper pieces can tarnish, but it takes special circumstances for that to happen. Depending on your skin's acidity level, a slight skin discoloration might occur. This is harmless and can be washed off.

Pure gold does not tarnish so our Gold-filled and Rose Gold-filled pieces are less likely to tarnish. Depending on care, these pieces should remain tarnish free. We do include a polishing pad with every order to restore luster in any case.
Jewelry Care Instructions & Tips

• Store jewelry in a cool, dry place or in an air-tight bag or box

• Avoid contact with household cleaners, lotions, perfumes, and makeup

• Remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, or working out

• Depending on your skin's acidity level, sterling silver, copper,
or brass might cause a skin discoloration. This is harmless and can be washed off.

• Frequent cleaning is recommended.
Wipe your jewelry lightly with the included polishing pad to restore luster.

• To fix letter fading, lightly color the letters with a Sharpie and then immediately
and gently wipe off the excess ink with the included polish pad.
Do not press hard.
