Silver Infinity Symbol on Copper Cuff

[brad]

Having cleaned my shop, I was eager to make something.  I am continuing my interest in this stylized figure-8-ish, Infinity Symbol.  This is a 1-1/2" wide copper cuff, hand-hammered with a forming hammer.  Soldered on, is an approx 1" sterling "stylized" infinity symbol-hammered out from about 2mm/16th" square wire.  The piece is patina'd in liver of sulfur, the polishing back highlights.  (After these photos, I did polish the silver further to a brighter mirror-ish finish.)  Brad

I love the dark hammered look with the silver!

Oooo, that's just wonderful! I love the texture on the cuff and the contrast of the darkened copper to the polished silver figure 8. Beautiful work, Brad!

I plan to make another small infinity like this one, in Sterling again, to make a pendent necklace. Then I am going to order a length of 14k gold square wire, and make a gold infinity symbol on sterling cuff-not patina'd. (a Christmas Gift, me thinks) Brad

Beautiful! The work is lovely, and I’m quite partial to the infinity symbol. That texture is amazing!
