Bangles are in! Practice your fabrication, soldering, and forming skills by creating this stunning bracelet.

Description

The shape of this bangle is marvelous! We love the opposing curves that it has. This bracelet will be a great complement to your wrist, and you know it! A great aspect of this bangle is that if you don’t have the tools for anticlastic work, you can make a similar necklace without them. Just put the bangle on the horn of your anvil and use the ball end of a ball-peen hammer to hammer the texture in. who knew!
