All my jewelry is fabricated in stainless steel.My curious jeweler friends inevitably ask me "why on earth would you want to work in such an intractable medium"? My answer is invariabbly "because I can"...Stainless steel is generally hypo-allergenic,exceedingly durable, and provides interesting surface decoration possibilities.
I wanted to try forging a heavy cuff or bracelet within the wendelringe genre.Wendelringe is the German term for the back and forth twist pattern in Northern Celtic neckrings.I thought a cuff to match a wendelringe neckring or torc might be a nice addition for a set. |
