PICCE Bracelet in “Scrumptious: Jewelry as Nourishment” Exhibit + Sale

PICCE low tarnish sterling silver statement bracelet. Contemporary art jewelry by Sherry Cordova. The bracelet is two thin yet strong lightweight layers connected with stainless steel spacers. Looking at this view highlights that the design began with a hand drawing prior to being modified in CAD and laser cut. The hand finishing ties with the original hand drawing to create a unique piece. Industrially produced stainless steel fasteners join the two layers.
