People often ask to take pictures while working on a piece of jewelry. Most of the time it doesn’t work out that way because I either forget to take pictures or they are too crummy to show. Any way … last week when Jan was working on one of our orders, I thought about it in time.
Bracelet Black Beauty is a classic in our collection. This time Jan created the bracelet in gold. The customer brought a lot of “old” gold, (broken and unused gold jewelry) which we could use to make the bracelet.
The pieces of old jewelry are melted down into bars of gold.
The round shape is ultimately forged from these gold rods.
The bracelet starts to get it’s shape …
… wood …
… fitting …
and here the closure is soldered on. Curious about the end result? Just click on Black Beauty.

The woman who wears this bracelet is going to cherish it forever. Elegant, sleek, strikingly beautiful. Is it unisex? I think even a man would love it.
