 Finished bangle |
 |
 |
 |
| Titanium(1.7mm thick) is pierced out first and bent more or less to the required size. I use tin
snips for the silver because its going to be fused anyway. |
The titanium is used as a former and the silver edges are bent us until the nearly vertical. Lots
of annealing is needed. The titanium must come out with difficulty |
After fusing the titanium is fitted to see where more fusing is needed, (the far left corner).
The bangle is bent smaller and the silver is formed around the titanium |
 |
 |
 |
| The silver part ready for 14ct gold fusing Weigh the gold first. I used 1mm gold wire like a
brazing rod. A bangle like this will take about 5 grams of gold |
Gold been applied and... |
further forming |

 |
| Titanium is filed in a curved shape leaving a razor sharp edge. Sanded down and polished and
roughed |

 |
 |
| A large bushy flame is used. Care and patience is necessary. Quenching in water does not
affect the color |
The silver is finished off and the titanium is 'set' .The high ridges give a manner of
protection to the titanium coloring. |
