Hand drawn, CAD modified, laser cut, hand finished
The microscopic marine creature namesakes of this bracelet were the inspiration for the layers of low tarnish sterling silver and titanium.
The three thin layers keep the bracelet lightweight and the stainless steel fasteners remind us that humankind’s activities on land affect even the tiniest of sea creatures. Two titanium layers on the outside provide color contrast to the low tarnish sterling silver layer in the center.
I modified the creature as I redrew the microscopic creature by hand; based on the drawing below. I digitized the new hand drawing, modified it again in CAD and sent the design to a laser cutter where it was cut in 30 gauge low tarnish sterling silver and Titanium. I textured, burnished and hand finished each curve and cutout by hand.
The grade 2 Titanium is pure Titanium. The low tarnish sterling silver resists tarnishing.
