Description:
I found this lot of vintage purple abalone cabochons, of which I was able to get 80 in Tucson. There are two small ones bezeled on both sides of the big cab. Tucson happened back in February 2017, and the idea for this has been gestating ever since. This is what I mean on things existing before existing. By the time I sat down today to crank this piece out in one sitting,I had everything ready to go, ideas in place, sketch, materials. And bam!

The interesting thing about this piece is that there is very little contrast, in value but it works. The dark purple, the rich burgundy, the teal, it all is pretty dark. It's not something colorwise that I would normally do. I like a piece with different values. And this is all dark. But I had a feeling that it would do, and I went for it, and the outcome is a sinuous, curvy, elegant, sexy sort of bracelet.
