Just finished this custom piece. Melted old gold and shaped into 12 gauge wire (that took a long time), made the bezels, and set the pink tourmalines. I'm pleased with the look and know my customer will be also. She is very specific about what she wants and is a great designer. I've made about 6 other pieces for her during the past couple of years. A fun and challenging project!

Beautiful, Bodil!!
What a yummy bracelet! Nice job, Bodil!
Beautiful! And a counterweight stone is a great idea.
Oh- that counterweight is BRILLIANT! Did you use a rolling mill to roll out the 12 gauge wire or did you planish it with hammers?
I used a motorized rolling mill to bring the gold rod down to 12 gauge. It took a while....Then I hammered the wire in different areas to get this organic look.
