Amethyst fork bracelet

[sweets4ever]

After much hammering & bending...the final result.  The amethyst is held in by a prong, but also E6000'd because I'm a paranoid little crafter.

Thanks so much!

I dremeled the top surface to give it some funky shiny texture... I think that helped a lil' bit.

That is 'forkin' fabulous!!  I have heated and bent forks in my husband's work shop wood stove but never thought of adding stones. I did see one where glass beads are added to the tines before heating and they were pretty cool, but yours is the best I've seen so far. Nice work, share more photos. d

Thank you so much d & iamthe_disco!   

LOL.... forkin' fabulous!  I am jealous that you had means to heat & bend.  I bet that a much easier process.    I'm a bit afraid to try introducing heat to the process.  Torch, oven, what?  What did you do?

Ohhh... glass beads to the tines before heating!  How would they adhere I wonder?  So many ideas!  I went to the antique mall and found some thinner pieces of silverware to work with.  Unfortunately, this one was quite thick!

Thanks again for the giggles & compliments.  I do have some more photos, I'll hunt them down.

Wait.  What?  That's my hand!  I don't get much sun these days.   

Actually...it's a glass hand!  I bought it at a little shop a few years ago & have used it as a ring/jewelry holder until I started getting into photography.  Now the poor thing never gets a break.    It's a little small in comparison to a real hand...but I still like it as a prop.  It's so weird.  ha!
