This was the weekend a few pieces came together and were finally finished-I tend to have several projects on the go at any given time and get easily side-tracked…it’s a “bling thing”. This large (and heavy) silver cuff was a challenge with all it’s multiple layers of soldering but it’s almost ready for it’s forever home.I  acid etched the sheet silver with a floral background, then shaped and domed the cuff by hand.  The stones are soldalite,  a beautiful blue with streaks of paler blue and white running through them. Once the cuff was finished, a patina was applied to give it an antique look. I have a nice supply of raw sodalite so will be making more pieces now that I see how well it goes with the antiqued silver.  My pieces are not meant to look anything but hand done, so the wearer will see the “marks of the maker” ,  and hopefully like them just that way.
