Another busy day on the computer sorting out my images. My photo-etched silver has almost all been used up so I need to design some more doodles for a new run of photo-etched silver.

I've found some great ideas for wedding and christening gifts, and all those other special occasions that you need to find something just that little bit different for. More details can be found by visiting my website or emailing me.

Photo-etched silver and gold bracelet
This is a photo-etched silver and gold bracelet which matches other items, such as cuff-links, earrings and pendants. More details can be found on my website: http://www.sarahevansjeweller.com/The bracelet uses a simple linking system: gold wires are melted into a tiny beads to secure each photo-etched panel.
I melt the metal using a very hot oxygen and propane flame on an adapted torch which has a tiny platinum tube about 2mm in diameter. Using this torch I can control where the flame goes with great accuracy, which allows me to create very delicate pieces or carry out tricky repairs.
