A.nice to see some really professional and mature work here for a change!!. your anticlastic bracelets would look good in titanium, you aught to try it. you need commercially pure if you can get it. Mirror polish then fire oxidise to a true mallard turquoise green inside as well as outside. did those back in the 80.s. Tho mine were wide in the middle section and tapered to the ends. also rolled the edges into a tube It would be stunning. Keep up the good work.
