I made this bangle from substantial gauge sterling silver wire. I use a HUGE vise and vise grips to pull the sterling silver wire into a big knot. Trust me, it can be a tug of war. :-)

Then, I use a high heat flame to round off the sharp edges. Once the knot is formed, and the edges are finished, I texture the metal, and form it into its bangle shape. A return trip to the flame may or may not be needed, depending on how cooperative the metal decides to be.

Finally, I oxidized the piece, tumble it for wearability, and then buff it to a lovely patina, ready for you to wear.

* NOTE: Each bangle is handmade to order and may vary ever so slightly from the picture shown. If you would like a photo of the EXACT item you will be receiving, please let me know. *

I was browsing artist videos on youtube one weekend afternoon, and played this song. The refrain "that's where the knot comes loose" kept playing over and over in my head, even after I made my way into my work shop later that evening. This knotted bangle was the result of my surfing, and the catch refrain.

Baby, baby, can't you see that I'm smilin'?
Cant you see, theres a part of me that's brand new?
Used to be, was a part of me felt like hidin'

But now it comes through
Deep in my heart
That's where the knot comes loose
Deep in my heart
I will remember you

-Lyric from "Knot Comes Loose", by My Morning Jacket
