What Are These Doing Here? - Shibuichi Silver Bracelet
Landon Gunn
3/4" wide x 6" long
Shibuichi is an alloy of copper and silver. It is more like copper in the way it oxidizes.
"I have been interested in Japanese Arts and craftsmanship for a long time and Shibuichi is an interesting Japanese alloy. I technically wanted to see what it was like to engrave, and to see what interesting patina patterns/colours may emerge. Also, I think it has an interesting ancient history from being developed to adorn Katana swords, to its later uses in contemporary jewellery work and throughout the Japanese artistic tradition."
