Marco Patania Fission Cuff
Bold, heavy and attention grabbing. This incredible Fission cuff is created with uranium glass cabs, and solid sterling silver and is sure to impress. Marco made this piece entirely from hand, including cutting the cabs from uranium marbles using a diamond saw. He also creates his own stamping tools from steel bars to give it a completely unique pattern on the interior.
Interior diameter measures just under 5 1/2 inches with a 1 inch opening fitting small to medium wrist sizes. Size can be customized free of charge by request.
More information on Uranium Glass
These glass cabochons contain a micro amount of Uranium Oxide as the coloring agent, which causes them to fluoresce under UV light. Handling & wearing Uranium Glass does not pose any health risk, in fact, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission published a report in 2001 stating Uranium Glass is considered to be safer than household electronics.

Patania Jewelry Care Suggestions
Each piece of Legendary Patania Jewelry is carefully crafted with tradition and an enduring respect for the natural materials we use. Our pieces are crafted from sterling silver and feature hand-selected, high-quality stones, including genuine turquoise, coral, and other stunning gemstones. These materials are beautiful but delicate, and proper care is essential.
To ensure your jewelry lasts for generations, we recommend the following care practices:
Avoid Harsh Conditions
Do not wear your jewelry while swimming, showering, or exercising.
Avoid exposure to lotions, perfumes, household cleaners, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals, as they can damage both the silver and the stones.
Remove jewelry before applying skincare products or cleaning.
Natural Patina & Polishing
Over time, sterling silver naturally develops a patina, a soft darkening that we believe becomes a meaningful part of the piece’s story and character.
If you prefer to keep your silver bright and polished, we recommend using a jewelry polishing cloth about once a month, depending on the humidity of your environment.
Proper Storage
Always store your jewelry in a dry, safe place when not in use.
Keep pieces separate from leather, as certain tanning agents in leather can cause tarnishing.
Store in a soft cloth pouch or a lined jewelry box to avoid scratching and moisture buildup.
Deep Cleaning Instructions
For a deeper clean, especially in areas where dust and skin oils build up over time:
For silver jewelry with turquoise or other stones (excluding coral):
Mix warm water with a small amount of sudsy ammonia (available at most pharmacies).
Soak the piece for 10 minutes. This helps dissolve dirt and oils without harming the stones.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry on a soft towel. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
Important:
This method is not recommended for coral, which is porous and sensitive.
For pieces containing coral:
Use a soft, wet toothbrush to remove dirt gently.
Avoid soaking. Rinse lightly and dry completely with a soft towel.
Final Notes:
Jewelry is meant to be worn and loved and like anything well-loved, it will show signs of its journey. With mindful care, your Legendary Patania Jewelry will only grow more beautiful with time.
