This is just a sweet little pearl and silver bracelet that I've made for an auction. It's definitely Roman inspired, though the nearest inspiration for it is (supposedly) amethyst. The photos look awfully red for amethyst. But it's just silver links, the same fashion as the Byzantine necklace. This is quite a common linking method throughout Rome and the early Byzantine empire. This is, however, the tiniest and most delicate hook and eye closure I've ever made.
I'm still planning to get out in the shop and solder something this month. It probably won't be Roman. I'm thinking I'll make a cabochon ring, since I need practice setting cabs. There's a Roman bracelet that's a bangle set with cabs all the way around it that I'm dying to make. I'll probably vary my production method a bit from what I think is original, but I'm excited to make an attempt. We'll see. Maybe December.
