The Last of an Edition of Five, Ca. 2000
One of my proudest designs . It’s simple - but it was hard to engineer.
Not for everyday wear. For special occasions - or special collections.
Made with:
A cast, fabricated, engraved & oxidized sterling silver form.
Japanese glass and metal beads, stitched around the rungs of the sterling form in a beading technique known as “peyote stitch".”
Antique French faceted aluminum beads.
Weight:
Heavy.
Dimensions:
Outer diameter: 3 1/4”
Inner Opening: 2 5/8”
Depth: 1/2”
Additional Information:
This is a bangle bracelet, meant to slide over the hand and to move freely around on the wrist. There is no opening.
While this is a beautiful design, it is not overly comfortable to wear on bare skin. Rather than wearing it directly on your skin as shown here, I suggest wearing it over a sweter sleeve. Or wear it as an armband, pushing it up your forearm as far as it will go, until it wants to stay in place. Eventually, of course, it will want to slide down to your wrist - at which point you can leave it there, or push it back up.
With effort, I can slide this bracelet over my hand, which measures about 4 3/4” to 5” across. If your hand is wider than this, this bracelet will probably not work for you. My hand is approxinatley 2 3/4” high, meausuring from the back of my hand to the widest part of my thumb. To measure, just turn your hand so your left palm faces right - or your right palm faces left. Measure the widest part.
I do not know how this bracelet would translate to the usual commerical bracelet sizes of 7”, 7 1/2”, 8” and so on.
I will sign this piece before shipping - although the little round engraving marks will somewhat obscure my signature.
