A break in the weather for polishing

The weather has been pretty ordinary over the last week - rain showers on and off everyday - no chance for walks or for doing outside work. But in one of the breaks between showers I managed to grind and polish the bracelets, earring disks and neck piece. I have added a solid gold jump-ring to each of the pair of earrings as a bit of a contrast-highlight. All earrings have solid 925 silver ear-wires. I thought I'd share a few photos of the results.

Three polished cuff bracelets.

And three sets of earrings for Fiona to choose a pair from. The others will make their way into my shop.

The neck piece also shaped and polished up well.

It was a good feeling to finish this part of the commission. I think I have a few bowls and a few other small bits left for Meg.

  2. Hi AA & C - thanks for your comments. AA - the fold-form bracelets are delicious in the recycled patterned metal. C - great that the discards can become loot. Peace. B
