Copper Cuff - Proof of Concept”

[brad]

This weekend I made a copper cuff to test a concept.  I wanted to etch the backside as well, for a bit of a “hidden treasure” as they say.  My method proved to work, though etching could be better.  Top side is a classic arts and crafts period design of roses and tiles.  The back side is centered with oak tree boughs of leaves and acorns. On both sides of that are whispy willow leaves. The piece was vintage patina’d then rubbed back some highlights.  Twice the effort, for something most will never see.   Brad

I like jewelry with a secret.

Brad, it’s lovely. And the wearer will know it’s there. I love it.

The etching on the backside makes this piece even more special even though most people won't know it is there.

I once painted a cuff and hid a little painting on the inside. Even though it couldn't be seen while being worn, for most of the people who knew it was there, it was a favorite part of the cuff.

Nicely done!
