6-Gauge vs. 4-Gauge: Which is Right for You?
6-Gauge BIGGA (This One!):
- Thickness: 4.1mm copper rod
- Weight: Solid 2 ounces
- Best for: Those who want substantial presence without maximum weight
- Wearability: Perfect balance - bold but comfortable for all-day wear
- Price: $50-$53 (more accessible)
4-Gauge BIGGA (Also Available):
- Thickness: 5.18mm copper rod (thicker!)
- Weight: Heavy 2 ounces
- Best for: Those who want maximum impact and weight
- Wearability: Extreme statement piece
- Price: $58-$61
Bottom Line: The 6-gauge offers 80% of the impact at a more accessible price point. It's the Goldilocks option - not too heavy, not too light, just right!
The Craftsmanship:
Creating this bangle requires exceptional skill. The 6-gauge (4.1mm) copper rod is sculpted entirely by hand without annealing—meaning the metal isn't softened with heat.
Why Cold-Working Matters:
- Maximum strength - Cold-worked metal is harder and more durable
- Better shape retention - Won't bend or lose form easily
- Expert skill required - Much more difficult than working with softened metal
- Superior quality - Professional metalsmith technique
This isn't easy work - it requires significant physical effort and metalworking expertise to shape thick copper rod without heat!
Massive Texture:
The surface is massively textured through hand-hammering:
- Hundreds of precise hammer blows create the pattern
- Each facet catches and reflects light
- Dimensional depth adds visual interest
- Hides minor scratches and wear
- Creates sparkle and shimmer as you move
Rustic Antiqued Finish:
The copper is treated with an antiquing process that creates a warm, vintage patina:
- Rich, earthy copper tones
- Depth and character
- Highlights the hammered texture
- Rustic, artisan aesthetic
- Develops more character over time
Unisex Appeal:

Stacking Ideas:
- Pair with multiple thin bangles on the same wrist

Potential Copper Benefits:
