Can you give us some info on your process of adding the raised edges? Are these soldered on and then all the engraving done at once? Or, is the "flat" engraving cut and then the edges sweated on and then they are engraved? Also, do you have any special technique of bending the bracelet after the edges are in place to prevent kinks?

Thanks everybody for the kind words. All of the metal in these pieces is stock that I rolled and formed. the wire edge is pattern wire that is soldered on the edge.Not very many "tricks" just good work.I formed the bracelets using either a trailer ball or an anticlastic mandrel an a hammer.
