Description
I wanted to create a sterling silver bracelet cuff which embodied both Earthly and organic, as well as something celestial and magical. Featuring a 20mm (1 inch in diameter) round gorgeous Bloodstone cabochon, deeply flecked with reds, golds, blues and greens, these gemstones capture the look of Earth. The side stones are also lighter and contrasting Aventurine and are 12mm round in diameter. Each gemstone is wrapped within a twist wire bezel setting for texture.I also took silver wire (14 gauge in thickness) and 16 gauge twist wire to freeform wrap it onto the cuff in an array of celestial swirl patterns.
I design each cuff, individually, to preserve artistic integrity and so that each one, while encompassing the quality and feel of this piece, will be unique upon the wearer's wrist.

This piece is beautiful, as well as your description and salesmanship! Artists must be multi-talented if they intend to be successful (in the financial sense).

Thank you! And, yep, you're right...it helps to be multi-faceted in not only the fabrication process and designing the work, but being descriptive in a natural way to let people know you care about your work.

That is a lovely design, and a beautiful piece of bloodstone, too. I didn't see specimens anywhere near as nice as that at the last rock show I went to. An odd personal opinion, it might look nifty if you used picture jasper for the side stones, lush-earth colors and desert colors mixing.
