The artist inspiration for the Tresor Bracelet comes from the sun's reflection on moving water. Techniques like salt water etching and hand carving created the textures on the bracelet. Mild steel and fused high karat gold alloys are the main materials the artist used for the design. The bracelet showcases a raw topaz crystal which combined with the gold patterns created by the fusing technique, makes it a versatile art piece. The artist finished the design creating an asymmetric curved shaped to fit comfortably in the wearers arm.
