“You are in a melancholy humour and fancy that anyone unlike yourself must be happy. But remember that the pain of parting from friends will be felt by everybody at times, whatever be their education or state. Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience; or give it a more fascinating name:call it hope.” -Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
✦ SUMMARY: -Hand stamped bracelet -3/8-inch wide -6-inches -Aluminum which will not rust, tarnish, or oxidize -Permanent patina -Perfect gift for book lovers
✦ DESCRIPTION: This bracelet starts out as a flat strip of aluminum. I will stamp each letter one by one into the bracelet. After I have completed the stamping process, I will shape the bracelet to an oval cuff shape. This will harden the bracelet so it can retain its shape. After it is formed, I will darken the impressions with a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction is fairly permanent and should not wear out easily. After darkening, I hand polish the bracelet, tumble it, and ship with care to you.
