Fireworks of My Own

Happy 4th of July!  Well--I'm late in posting, but seeing as our local fireworks were postponed due to the fog, I figured I could do the same thing. 

I've been continuing with my reticulated cuff series, and started playing with smaller pieces.  I am really happy with what's happening.  Here are a few of them so far: 

This cuff is about 1 inch wide made of silver with silver balls soldered around. 

This is heavily reticulated silver about 1" wide forming the cuff.  Silver balls and a 6mm faceted smoky quartz embellish the center.    

And here is a 3/4 inch wide cuff with an apple green chrysoprase cabochon.  Silver balls and bars explode from the center and continue around the whole piece.

What do you think?
