Welcome to my blog

Im exploring aspects of mehndi,designs,techniques,significance,function and historical background. I incorporate patterns that are either modern and traditional,Indian or Arabic into contemporary jewellery.

arabic gold bracelet

when designing the bracelet,it seemed as though it would be firm when its bent up into its bangle form,however it felt fragile and bent easily.In the future if I happen to make this piece again or something similar I would make a inner sleeve,or outside frame to give it more stability.It was my first time gold plating and I think it worked quite well, I realised if you plate many times and for a shorter period the plateing looks better and it probably last longer
