One of a kind Cuffs

I usually try to work in series,  It helps to keep my brain from going on random access and just making anything that comes into my head, Sometimes I just cant help it.  This is one of those times.  So the question is What do I call these? What series can I put them in?  I did some circle pendants last fall with a similar look but I called them circle of life pendants.  Can I call these circle of life bracelets?  Maybe if they were bangles? Maybe I'll cut them into links and add some small stones?  Feel free to comment

Suburban Tribal

New line of forged and hammer textured earrings, bracelets and pendants made of aluminium. Today I took some time to further develop this idea of very large earrings that are supper light weight. Keeping it simple by leaving coarse hammer marks and texturing helps to keep the price down and adds the intended funky look. They are still labor intensive but the aluminium takes the high price of silver out of the equation. It also allows for the bold statement with out the weight. These earrings are 2 to 3 inches or more yet feel weightless to wear.


They're fun to make too. You can really move some metal when the it doesn't put up much resistance  but they are very strong and durable and colorful.  I have added several to my display at the artisans' guild gallery.
