This is a start on an order to make a “Esclave “(slave) bracelet as we call this over here.
Normally I would have visit a gold / jewellery trader in Antwerp to pick up some of these. Not having to buy them first and being able to tell the price of such a Esclave Bracelet.
But as it is hard to sell golden jewellery, most of what the traders own is melted and sold as recycled gold.
The customer has to go to a party on Saturday, so Friday is my deadline!
So I started to make one making myself, not having the right tools to do it, just a hammer “pek bowl†and a hammer. Not knowing if I would be able, only trusting in myself.
And as my collection of AudemarPiguet’s is replaced by another watch brand, I thought I melt some AudemarPiguet’s to turn them into a nice bracelet. :biggrin:
So this is what I did today, tomorrow I will finish it and show you the result
