Gemstone donuts are beautiful and always catch you eye at bead
shows. But, when you get home, you don’t know what to do with
them, so they get stashed in a box or drawer for “later”.
This project incorporates one of these smaller donuts into a simple,
but dramatic piece of jewelry.
Fused silver has a very attractive organic, one-of-a-kind look, making
it the perfect element for a unique piece of jewelry.
If you have not tried fusion before, this is a small project perfect to try
your hand at without risking a lot of material.

Anticlastic Raising is a way of shaping metal, curving it into different
directions like the shape of a horse’s saddle.
The shapes obtained with this method are very organic and beautiful.
They are also very strong; this means that thinner gauge metal can be
used to make lighter pieces.
Our cuff will be shaped into an asymmetric anticlastic spiral.
With one large lampwork wavy disk on the wide side, and a small disk
in a contrasting color on the narrow side.
