Ancient Roman Cuff II

10% of profits from this piece will be donated to the Environmental Defense Fund. I created the texture by fusing sterling silver scraps one layer at a time with the intent of making a bangle bracelet, but it got too heavy and thick. I cut it open and rolled it through the rolling mill to thin it out. At that point, the metal lost all its texture and was a long sheet of silver. The metal retains memory, so when I reheated the metal, all the textures that were there came back to the surface. Kind of magical! The organic rounded edges make this a very comfortable cuff to wear. 1-1/2” wide; oxidized sterling silver.
