rapids bangles – Argentium silver bracelet – small
A bangle bracelet in the rapids design. I melted Argentium silver pieces to make a rapids pattern of turbulent silver. I fused silver wire to the edges to form a smooth frame. Then lots of polishing and tumbling, before I antiqued for a permanent black and silver finish.
The antique finish is permanent and it never needs polishing.
This is a size small
The weight is 33.8 grams
The bangle is .95 mm wide with an inside diameter of 6.2 cm
