An Armful of Bangles...

[caroleallen]

They're lovely Nic. What a good idea to get the strips of silver hallmarked first. Do you hammer them before hallmarking as well? When I make cuffs I always get them hallmarked in the middle so that I can chop off the ends if I need to make them smaller

What a good idea on the strips

Thanks Nic

You're welcome George

Carole - I hammer them after stamping (though quite carefully around the letters). Because most of mine have messages they get hallmarked about an inch in from the end. (I can still cut to length)

Lots of lovely jangly banglies!! That reminds me... I've just received some wide D-wire from Cookies for rings, but I've got enough to be able to make a few bangles too! (but not as groovy as yours Nic!!)

Ooh how fab, show us some pics when you're done Nicci

Brilliant idea, Nic. Thank you.

I send a lot of my work unfinished to the assay office, i just send the components with a wedge of solder and then when they have hallmarked it i work round the hallmark x

I didn't realise that you could do this. It makes sense - and it makes things easier too.
