Silver triangle

I know my silversmithing posts aren't very popular, but I do want to keep this blog as a journal for me too, so I'm going to post about it anyway!  Also, I love this piece, I'm so proud of it.

 I posted about my copper triangle at the end of last year.  I then went on to make one out of silver and I'm in love with it!

This is a hollow form.  It's made with 0.8mm sheet silver, cut and soldered together and then filed to remove the joins.  The top piece has been textured by rolling it through a mill with a piece of fabric.


 After finishing, I drilled a hole across one of the points to string it.

The back was polished to perfection, but I've worn it a lot and it's become marked already!

I strung it on a pre-bought sterling-silver chain.  I think it works perfectly with the design.  Now I just need to string the copper version...

    I really like the simplicity of this, with that touch of texture on the metal.

    Oh wow, that's a beautiful piece of jewellery; contemporary and very "wearable". By the way; have you ever worked with precious metal clay?

    Whoa. That doesn't look like something you can just make, if you see what I mean? It's like a professional made it. I am super impressed!
