Bracelets & rings / New collection

              
                New forged bracelets 
        

                  First bracelets of the year. This time I received a Remington adding machine 
               from the 40's & had in stock a unbilted Remington Rand type writer from 1939.
               Out of the steel rods founded in those vintage machines I forged a séries of 9 
               bracelets with the adding machine and 2 bracelets with the typewriter. The 
               bottom picture show's you a bracelet of each collection. Adding machine on 
               the right & type writer on the left.  



The forged ring collection

  The forged ring collection is based on nails
from palettes rechaped into rings at the forge.
This year I  collected nails with striped patten
on them which after forging remained on the
steel. They are well patinated in black, and the
patina dose not fade away. Eventually if the
ring is worn every day, it will after some time
start to loose it patina to reveal  the shiny steel.
