MAGNESITE – Master of thoughts
White magnesite is known for its calming properties. It helps to improve creative visualization and imagination. It makes thoughts clearer, more orderly and more harmonious when worn as a bracelet.

ONYX, The spiritual shield
The Onyx gemstone helps to focus on the essentials: gaining confidence, facilitating communication and speech.⁠

SERPENTINE, The state rock of California
Wearing serpentine jewelry in contact with the body, such as a bracelet, allows the energy of the stone to help you turn negative thoughts and actions into positive ones.

SODALITE, The royal blue
Enhancing self-esteem, self-acceptance and self-confidence, sodalite broadens the understanding of oneself and one’s environment. Sodalite is mainly found in British Columbia.

TIGER EYE, The chatoyant gemstone
Silky and lustrous, Tiger Eye offers a level of grounding security that keeps you feeling safe and protected in all circumstances. Tiger’s Eye is also a talisman of good luck and fortune.

RED JASPER, Bringer of success
Jewelry use of jaspers goes back into the early history of civilization. In ancient Egypt, red jasper stone was linked to the fertility of Mother Isis and Native Americans believed that red jasper was the blood of Mother Earth. A gemstone known to sharpen the mind, give courage and bring success and wealth.

LAVA, Filled with the energy of the Earth
Lava is a stone made from cooled magma. Carrier of joy and happiness, used to soothe, it is a gemstone known to balance your mind.

TURQUOISE, The colorful
The word turquoise dates back to the 17th century and is derived from the French turquois which means “Turkish” because the mineral was first brought to Europe by Turkey. It adorns a beautiful cyanish-green color, based on the gem of the same name.

The PUNCH BRACELET is available with two types of connectors bodies, both with a 316L stainless steel blade. This probably also makes the PUNCH BRACELET the only cigar accessory you can swim with.

Brass body, the Patina King

Known since ancient times, brass is still used today for its properties in applications such as interior design, musical instruments, jewelry, and even ammunition casings.  It is a very durable copper alloy with exceptional corrosion resistance. Brass is prone to patina, a natural phenomenon that can be easily removed or cultivated for best results.

What is patina?⁠

It is simply a natural, superficial discoloration of a metal that lies on the surface as a kind of coating. A broad concept that can be described as a product that has “aged”. A product that has improved over time, like some cigars for example.

Patina has many functions, like being a kind of “seal” on metal for example, but for us, the most important seems to be that it represents the relationship between the object and its owner.

The common history they will have written together, day after day, month after month, year after year. The patina is easily removed, but if you let it grow, the PUNCH BRACELET will have changes in color that will make it unique.

There lies all the beauty of the patina.⁠⁠

316L Stainless Steel body, the inalterable

Sometimes refered as Marine Grade Stainless Steel, used in a variety of fields such as the petrochemical industry, water treatment, medical implants, or high-end diving watches, 316L is the superior choice for high corrosion and high temperature applications.

Combining beads and body materials, the PUNCH BRACELET by LES FINES LAMES exists in 10 versions.

Each version of the PUNCH BRACELET by LES FINES LAMES is available as :

• 40% OFF EARLY BIRD perk – limited to 30 each
• Then each version is still available for you to purchase, saving 20% on the retail price.

*MSRP = Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price

After testing our first PUNCH BRACELET prototype since February and crafting a 100 pieces pre-production series in June, we’ve been constantly improving them in order to bring you the best cigar accessory. Join us on our journey to bring the PUNCH BRACELET to market and ensure you’re one of the first to own one.

Born in 2015 after a successful first INDIEGOGO campaign, LES FINES LAMES proposes a unique range of exceptional cigar accessories, 100% made in France, and sold all over the world: more than 90% of its turnover is made abroad. With a strong presence on social networks, LES FINES LAMES built in less than 5 years a loyal 53K followers Instagram community, met during international cigar events, and developed numerous collaborations with leading and prestigious brands.

Q: You guys are already an established company, why do you do a crowdfunding campaign?
A: Because we did that three times already. It’s part of our DNA, and it’s also a very cool way to launch a new product, rewarding our community with time limited launch discounts!

Q: How do I remove Patina from brass?
A: There are plenty of ways to remove patina. One of the easiest might be scrubing the connector gently with a soft toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste.

Q: Why would someone remove Patina?
A: Well, don’t be so judgemental. Some like patina, some others don’t.
Do as you like, it’s your PUNCH BRACELET after all! 😉
