This page shows a bit of the process Ric goes through to create many of his bracelets. This particular bracelet was a custom order, the client was very excited about having five blue labradorites set with custom stamp work. The first image shows the finished center piece and the bezeled stones. The second image shows the center piece fit in the custom stamp work. The third image shows the finished bracelet with the labradorites and seven bits of 14K gold soldered on for good measure. Ric thinks it is cool that a soldered piece is white after soldering and pickling, before it is oxidized and polished. The forth image shows the piece oxidized and image five is of the finished bracelet. In this image one can see a bit of the textured underside which was created by putting a piece of silver through the rolling mill with aluminum window screen next to it.
