Exam piece: Silver Bracelet

This piece has been in the making since September of 2019, and completed early 2020. This project had its ups and downs during the production but I had a blast working at it from start to finish.
I got to present it the 24th of January of 2020, and I passed my exam with it too. officially making me a Assistant Goldsmith.

This one isn’t for sale, but if you are interested in a similar piece I can always make another one!

I was tasked to make a piece of jewelry containing at least 3 things I learned during my education. I ended up putting 7 techniques in it. some bigger then the other. The techniques being:

  • Making of the bracelet bands

  • The Lock.

  • Smelting my own silver.

  • Making my own silver tube/pipe.

  • making my own Hinges.

  • Riveting the hinges in place. using a ‘‘invisible ‘‘ rivet

  • using a stone-setting to set a coin in place.
