I made this piece by first cutting out a piece of brass that was wider in the middle and thinner at the ends to give it an oval look. I used the hydraulic press to give it the anticasltic shape. I soldered casting beads after it was shaped in random areas. I used liver of sulfur to add a patina. Shaping and soldering on all the little casting beads was the most challenging aspect of this cuff.
