Keum-Boo Cuff Bracelet

Art Jewelry Magazine — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:51:00 GMT

To make his Keum Boo Cuff Bracelet, Christopher Trollen used depletion silvering and keum-boo to apply gold foil to a flat blank of sterling silver. He then formed the bracelet with hand tools and flush-set 2 mm stones into it. The 6-in. (15.2 cm) cuff is made of sterling silver, 23k yellow gold, golden citrines, peridots, and white topaz. This piece appeared in the January 2010 issue of Art Jewelry magazine.

Re: can enameling be done on sterling silver?

If you use only opaque enamels, you can enamel sterling silver direct. If you want to use any transparents, you must prepare the silver before by depletion guilding. You find the procedure here:

Attaching art clay to sterling silver

Hello all,

I'm new to metal clay and I was wondering if it was possible to attach an art clay piece to sterling silver. I have a plain sterling silver locket that I would like to add to and am not sure of what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Everyone,

It has been quite a while since I have shared any of our new sea glass jewelry designs with you, so here I am.

This piece was named "Teal On The Beach" and was inspired by the colors of the ocean, using Teal and Seafoam sea glass nuggets accented with sterling silver accent beads and handmade african beads in complimenting hues. This is a new design created for the fall.

Hoping to post more new designs as the season moves on. Presently sorting through tons of sea glass, getting prepared to create new pieces for the holiday season.
