The Rivet Series

Rivet Bracelet, sterling, 2010
The Rivet Series is a style that I return to every few months to continue and sometimes expand the series. Rivets are a great cold connection, meaning I don't have to solder the parts of the metal when attaching them together, instead I delicately hammer the parts in place with wire as dowels. This allows me to polish and finish the elements of the piece in a different way than if I had to heat it. Though, I do find my interest in the aesthetics of rivets becomes the more important part of the design.
