Hammered Wire Cuff

摘要

This project is a contrast between textured hammered surfaces and forming with hammers that leave no trace. It is totally fabricated and does not rely on casting. This bracelet takes advantage of the three dimensional possibilities inherent with handwrought work. The curves of the end caps extend the curve of the cuff with small raised rings that soften the transition from the heavy wire to the cones and end in lapis lazuli beads.rnTo determine what length of silver wire you need, wrap Ve" brass rod around an oval mandrel. Straighten the test wire, and then cut the 6-gauge sterling to the determined length. Typically, a standard cuff bracelet is about 6" with the ends.
