This cuff is all sterling wire, hand cut and hand formed, soldered, then formed into a cuff. I am thinking of making a few variations of it, some with tiny accent stones, and some that are a tighter configuration or with larger wire.

and one from the side before final forming:

that is a beautiful Design! Love it!

I love it.  I just ordered a book on metalsmithing from Amazon and can not wait for it to get here.  Your cuff is very inspiring.

Ooooh - that is beautiful. 

Thanks Mrs. Beadsley - I believe this is all 14 ga. When I first started making the individual pieces I was using a variety - up to 12 ga - with some hammered flat and some smooth and I just ended up going with all the smooth sections in this one....so I think they are all 14 ga.

Thanks Kim! :)

Janice I think you should make many variations of this beautiful cuff bracelet!  I really love it!  Nice workmanship!

Beautiful work. Very flowing and smooth transitioning design.  It immediately brought stained glass windows to my mind so I think your idea of accent stones is great. Take care....

WOW!!! Janice, this is just georgeous!  Beautiful design and the finish is perfect.

I would love to visit you at the network, too. I'm starting soldering some coils together and I'm in too much trouble... would you mind?

Hiya Maz!!!  Do stop over - I'd love to see what you're up to - and there's a lot of good advise/critique etc over there. :)  [sure has done me wonders!]

Yep - "uber fluid" is sort of what I was thinking.  Graceful, too.  Like a good ice skater - you make it look so easy!

Thanks so much Aaron and Jilla!!  :-)
