What do you think?! The big difference with this piece is the metal--I used pre-reticulated silver which is more highly textured than what I've been creating; and while I like it, I do feel it is busier looking and I didn't want to embellish it as much. So, I decided to keep it simple. I used some large silver balls that I lightly hammered and soldered them along the seam line. I then added 5 tall pieces of silver that I mounted bezel settings on. I set four 3mm rhodolite garnets and one 3mm amethyst. Here is another view--note the height of the stones, as well as the varying height of the balls.
To achieve the final finish, I brushed the bracelet with several different wire brushes, which allows the metal to shimmer and shine.
And that's all for now.
