Sterling Silver Raven Bracelet - OOAK

This bracelet is 100% handcrafted from raw materials including sterling silver metal and argentium silver wire. The handsawn raven and ring of twisted wire are soldered to a sterling silver disc. The raven has details that are hand stamped. The disc has two connector links on the sides that I fused on. From there I created rings from argentium silver. Each larger ring started off as a straight piece of wire that I shaped into a circle and forged. The circle was fused closed and then hammered flat. I used my hammer to give a little texture and shine. That hammered texture really catches the light. The larger rings are connected together with rings made from twisted argentium wire. These are fused closed. 

Bracelet measure 7 1/2 inches long and fastens with a handcrafted hook that slips into any of the links on the opposite side. This should fit the average-sized woman's wrist perfectly.

I gave the entire bracelet a dark patina leaving the background of the disc especially dark but buffed most of the patina away from the raven so it stands out. The bracelet was tumbled with steel shot for a burnished shine.
