Grass Stem Cuff Bracelet

musings, process, productLarkin HamiltonComment

Larkin sculpted this solid silver cuff bracelet featuring a grass seed stem, with the stem at one end of the cuff and the grass tip at the other.

Just like on the grass stem it was modeled after, Larkin meticulously individually shaped the seed heads so they start out larger and more widely spaced and get smaller and closer together towards the tip of the stalk.

The band measures 1.5 cm wide and will fits wrists with a circumference of 6-8.5 inches. Larkin oxidized the argentium silver, then polished it back to bright on the surface, leaving areas around the seed heads darker for added dimensionality.
