Israel cuff

This is a one piece sterling silver and beads cuff, originally made for a contest on the occasion of 60 years to the state of Israel !
I was honored the fifth place, and I am proud of it.

I started by making the centered cabouchon out of sterling silver. I had the idea in my mind and I love how it came out.

The second step was to stich my way in a technique I used for the first time- Bead Embroidery. I worked days and nights!

Inbetween the layers is a metal cuff. And the inside layer is genuine leather.
