    Hi everyone I am currently working on a design for a wrist cuff.  It
    will be formed from 1.5mm thick Sterling Silver and will be about
    30mm wide. The idea is that the form will be flat (not raised);
    hammer finished, and will have a large stone bezel set in the
    middle/top of the cuff. Does anyone have any tips for wearability, or
    to make the cuff a bit springy so that it is easier to get on and
    off? The prototype is a bit uncomfortable and doesn't give much when
    fitted to the wrist, it tends to be loose and due to its overall
    weight it has a tendency to want to fall off! I also wasn't sure
    exactly about the overall length, so made it 150mm long, giving what
    I thought was a reasonable gap (about 30mm) to slide the wrist in. Any
    help or guidance would be very welcome.  Thanks in advance. Mark
