Edna Madera - Floating Feather Hoops

Threads of 24 karat gold are cut razor thin, then torch fused one-by-one over silver. 24 karat gold threads are torch fused over hammer-formed sterling and finished with 18 karat gold hinged mechanics, all hand-fabricated. Like an accumulation of pencil marks illustrates a picture, wisps of 24 karat gold threads are drawn over silver, one strand at a time to convey lightness and weightlessness. The feeling of floating and defying gravity is symbolized by the feather. An unburdening. Materials: 24k, 18k, sterling Dimensions: 22mm L x 13mm W x 22mm D
