Platypus River – bracelet

Silver bracelet inspired by David Robinson’s wood carvings. The bracelet depicts the surface of the river where platypuses bathe at dusk. Golden flakes embedded in the surface of black oxidized silver imitate the rays of the rising sun reflecting on the surface of the water. The central stone is a magnificent opal, which I myself chipped from a rock in Australia. Its internal drawing perfectly reflects water waves. The bracelet itself and the eyes of the platypuses are decorated with blue sapphires.

The bracelet was showcased during an exhibition in the Museum in Toruń, Poland 25.06.2023-30.08.2023
