#silver bracelet
I made this Mythril Chainmaille bracelet from 22 gauge Sterling Silver wire. I wrap the raw wire around a rod, cut that coil into circles with a jewelers saw, open them up using two pairs of pliers, put each one into place, close them using two pairs of pliers, and than to make sure my work will last a lifetime I weld each one closed before moving to the next. This beauty has exactly 1,570 links in it and it weighs just over two ounces. Oh and I make and weld the clasps myself. Look how pretty!!
Fine Silver with welded links.
An early piece, circa 1930s, meticulously crafted by hand. This bracelet with chain of heavily worked silver beads features well known “Los Cocos” design by Justo Castillo. In 1935 Spratling established the first competition for the silversmiths in the shop, and Justo “Coco” Castillo was awarded the first prize for his entry.
The bracelet is marked simply Taxco, 980 - almost pure silver, and fitted with original hook and eye clasp.
