Crystal is a jewelry beginner. She did a very elaborate and well crafted pierced medallion for her very first project (photo to come soon) and this was her second project which was a textured cuff bracelet. She chose to find the Chinese characters that make up her name and then pierce them into the bracelet.

She got some really nice color variation with the heat patina and sealed it with beeswax and paint thinner yesterday. I hope that the color will be stable.
