This Scalloped Copper Bangle Bracelet started out as a flat strip of 16 gauge copper sheet metal, 8 1/4 inches long by 1 3/4 inches wide. I then formed the strip into a circular bangle and soldered the joint with hard Silver solder.
Next, the bangle was synclastically raised on a steel sinusoidal stake with a delrin mallet. The fluting was produced by chasing the copper over a series of fluting stakes and annealings (8 in total), then plannished to remove any hammering marks. After polishing, the Silver seem was copper plated.
