A real choker

I have been working on a concept which is basically a choker. I want to make if from rubber with stainless steel. The idea is that there is an open end, to get it on and off and the stainless is there so that it will want to keep its shape. I want it to be very flexible so it is almost like a second skin. The rubber will soften the effects of the steel and make it comfortable to wear, while still allowing it to flex.
I still need to resolve exactly what it will look like and need to learn more about working with rubber so a few prototypes will need to be done.

samurai pocket piece

this piece is an amulet that represents the three main attributes of the samurai honor, strength and protection

anticlastic earring

this is my 1st attempt at 'anticlastic razing'. I chose to try this technique because I like the way you can manipulate plate with it. I wanted to make a piece that had volume but was extremely light. because I used this forging technue the metal is left hard and slightly domed this makes it possable to make it extremely thin. so the techneque has become the the design.

Yin Yang bangle

The two halves are folded in opposite directions so the openings are on different sides still they have the same silhouette. The finish is the same on both but one is more polished than the other making one look dark and one light. This is Yin Yang in that the two halves are the same but also completely opposite.

chromatic bracelet

colour is not usually something I use in my jewellery. in this piece I think the deep blue makes it more interesting by drawing your attention to the inside of the fold and also contrasts and complements the metal. I may use this clear blue in other pieces in the future.
