I absolutely adored my grandfather, but we unfortunately lost him when I was only five years old. I remember so much about him, but one thing I remember the most is that he just loved elephants. He had a great collection of elephant things, both large and small. I was thinking of him when I designed this piece. Just the top of the elephant is visible above the long grass he is standing in.

This piece was created using the sculpting techniques of chasing and repousse. This technique utilizes only small, blunt tools and a hammer to create depth by pushing the metal from the back of the piece (repousse) and then add details and added dimension from the front (chasing). No molds, stamps or machines are used during this process, only thousands of individual hammer blows.

This sterling silver cuff bracelet fits a 7 inch wrist and is approximately 3/4 inches wide.
