Studebaker Metals — Local services in Pittsburgh

The look, feel, comfort and heft of these pieces must be seen to be appreciated. This IS wearable Pennsylvania. For those who live in, came from PA, and want a keepsake from our historic state, this is so much more meaningful than some other collectible with Pennsylvania stamped on it. This is our state. This is part of what we did and continue to do here. Make things, some rugged, others more refined out of metal. Regarding construction, I love how this is put together. I particularly like the heavy clasp and how easy it is to put on. Also, I was expecting about a week to go by, per the website however, I had my bracelet in 4 days. The bracelet was nicely wrapped and well packaged. As mentioned, I bought the work patina sterling silver Signature Bracelet and within 3 days of receipt, I've already ordered my brass work patina Signature Bracelet. For those with concerns regarding the work patina sterling silver Signature Bracelet (I read other comments), I think it is necessary to understand the distinction between patina and tarnish. If you want a patina that has that slight copper/brass type color, order one in one of those metals. If you want a patina in sterling silver, this subtle darkening, almost gun metal is exactly as it is supposed to be without blackening becoming tarnish. It's really beautiful to see in person. Sure, patina is not bright, being formed over time just due to exposure. Tarnish is effectively self-limiting corrosion caused by chemical reaction that may or may not include oxygen. It's unsightly, has not value regarding antiques and is perfectly acceptable to clean and polish away. Understand the difference, choose the look and metal you most like,...

Ordered a polished brass cuff to see if I like the look as I was considering ordering in gold last year but wanted to try a cheaper one first and see if I liked wearing it.

The cuff is very nice, thick brass metal alloy. Polished very well with a fun texture in the "trench cuff" divots for some contrast. I'm sure it will tarnish or whatever as it's brass but that's fine. Very confused seeing people review brass and copper jewelry not knowing it lightly stains skin greenish and tarnishes and complains about it. Order gold if you don't want that 🤣. Would you be upset a solid iron ring rusted from daily wear and showering? People are funny man.

I followed their size guide and a large seems to fit me well but I'm definitely a very slim/lanky tall person so my wrists don't nicely fill the cuff like some people Ive seen. It's comfortable and doesn't fall too far forward or backwards on my arm.

It's possible I'm actually between a medium and large but I've never worn a cuff before so the large seemed safer based on my wrist measurements.

Pretty good for mens jewelry. Doesn't look feminine or weird and too flashy. If I ever order a gold one I may get a wedding band...

We’re sharing this as constructive feedback in hopes it reaches the right folks.

We’ve now ordered two of your signature bracelets. The first—brass—was delivered quickly and crafted beautifully. We liked it so much we decided to purchase the full sterling silver version.

Unfortunately, that second experience was disappointing. The silver bracelet arrived with noticeably lower craftsmanship and a clasp that didn’t function properly. We reached out via your customer service chat, but responses were delayed—sometimes taking days or even weeks.

Though we were able to return the bracelet, the process felt unnecessarily slow. After it was received on your end, it took over a week to send out a replacement, which arrived without tracking and sat in our mailbox all weekend while we were away.

We deeply value American-made goods and understand the challenges small makers face. That’s why we believe in offering honest, constructive feedback rather than staying silent. We hope this helps improve the experience for future customers who, like us, want to support quality craftsmanship...
