Shimmering in golden bronze with distorted rays reflected from the hammered honeycomb texture, this bronze anticlastic bracelet features a tapered bracelet arc for a modern asymmetrical design with anticlastic form to loose the eyes in a sea of illusionary light. The bracelet blanks was cut from 18 gauge bronze with a metal shear in a trapezoidal shape with one parallel end measuring 1.25 inches and the other .5 inch to create the tapered effect. By pressing the flat band into contained neoprene with a CNC machined steel anticlastic mushroom die on a hydraulic press, the anticlastic (concave) shape was produced while simultaneously bending the metal into a bracelet arc. The pressing was repeated at ½ inch intervals with the bracelet shaping controlled by the amount of downward force combined with upward pressure from my thumbs. After forming the bracelet, the end tabs and edges were rounded and filed for a comfortable fit. Hammering planishes the surface thereby producing a natural glossy finish that was further enhanced by a combination of hand polishing and tumbling in fine walnut shell for a smooth polish
