my new Kamoka Pearl Bangle

[katkashmir]

did the metal come as the gold/silver bi metal and did it come with the faint stripes already marked? How thick is the gold layer - is it more like vermeil or is it 50-50? How do you solder it? (or is that an open bangle?)
Sorry for all the questions, but I have never seen anything like this from a supplier and am intrigued!

Yes, the metal came prefabricated. I bought it from Hauser & Miller. If you go their website you can see the description and properties of the bimetal. The stripes are my hammering and I wanted to make texture. The bangle is an open design, a twist on. It was easier to form the curves if I left it that way. The only soldering I did was pearl posts, which I ended up flowing solder up the post into the drill hole which held the post in place then I cut and sanded the post on the back side flat. Hope that helps.

Sorry I missed this until now. Love the design Kat! Always such a pleasure to see our pearls arrived at their final destination.
