Energized by the spirit of the hunt, the running wolves were sawed by hand from 20 gauge sterling silver using a jewelry saw and soldered to a solid 18 gauge handmade sterling silver base. The finished brushed patina accented highlights and a chased pattern along the edges add contrast, which focuses attention on the wolves shrouded in a vibrant silver glow.
The bracelet was created by sawing a 6.5 inch long by 1 inch wide rectangular base from an 18 gauge sterling silver sheet and soldering the handcrafted wolves to the base rectangle using an acetylene torch and high flow sterling silver solder. Hammered into the sterling silver with a small common chasing tool, the grooved design serves as a frame around the wolves. The flat band with the soldered components was carefully shaped with a nylon mallet into a perfect bracelet over a wooden mandrel. After removing the fire scale, rounding the end tabs, and filing the edges, a patina was applied to the sterling silver and brushed to create subtle grey tones in the back ground, darken the grooves, and enhance the fine details.
While shown here in a 6 inch width for a medium sized wrist, I definitely recommend ordering your wolf bracelet in your exact size by giving me your wrist measurements. When you order your bracelet with a personalized fit, you will also have the opportunity to customize the individual elements of the bracelet such as metal options, substituting your own designs, or rearranging the components to suite individual tastes. Just remember, these bracelets are handmade, so no two will be exactly alike. Custom orders and special requests for all types of jewelry for every occasion are always welcome.
