Driven Soul Cuff
Driven Soul Cuff
This cuff is crafted from 18-gauge Argentium silver using an intricate roller printing technique. The engraved message reads, "Tools alone shape nothing whole, without the hands of a driven soul," a reflection of the craftsmanship behind the piece. To achieve this effect, I created custom roller printing paper with my laser engraver. The silver was then heat fractured and shattered, allowing me to reposition the fragmented pieces slightly askew. These segments were carefully fused back together, bridged with square silver wire and varying sizes of silver granules to emphasize the texture and design.
The cuff features a medium antiqued patina, contrasted by polished highlights that bring depth and dimension to the surface. Finally, the silver cuff is riveted to a flame-painted titanium cuff, connecting only through a thin sliver of titanium, adding a subtle but striking contrast between the two metals. This piece embodies the balance between meticulous technique and artistic intention.
