Jewelry Tutorial: Anticlastic Cuff From Reticulation Silver
In this video I show you how to make an interesting anticlastic cuff bracelet with Reticulation silver. I also give it a nice edge detail.

You melted the edge!!!! Yea you!! Amazing! Brutalist! Totally my style! Right on! 👍
Hey Pat, I watched this video in follow up to your reticulum video and just wanted to see you finish the cuff. I was a little surprised that you didn’t annealing the cuff between every round. The cuff got so hard and out of shape I was, as I said… surprised! I thought you were pretty lucky it didn’t break. It turned out beautiful though! I would have loved to see you melt the edges! Maybe on another video? Thanks for the share!
Very beautiful.
With as much synclastic and anticlastic pieces as you make, it looks like it might be time for a Bonny Doon hydraulic press sir. Pricey, but so worth the money. It’ll change your life in how much time and effort it saves. Beautiful piece too by the way.
BEAUTIFUL!!!! LOVE IT
Very useful - thank you! I love anticlastic forms and I first saw a tutorial showing that you had to solder first (which of course I didn't want to do for a slip on cuff) so this was great and I followed the beginning steps. What do you think is the ideal gauge sheet for a cuff like this, and perhaps the maximum we could go to and stll anneal without issue? I was using 0.5mm but it felt a little too thin.
Gorgeous design. Thanks for sharing the anticlastic technique

You are very welcome
great work !!! what is the thickness of the metal?
If you anneil more often between the hamer rounds its more easy to form.. you can hear when you should anneil the meta
Thanks so much for these videos. I am excited to try it. Can you tell me where you got the stake set up and the hammer that you are working with? Thanks!

I got them while taking a workshop with Michael Good on Anticlastic Forming (at a reduced package deal as part of the workshop) I believe that you can get them at www.fretzdesign.com/ but they are not cheap.
Beautiful piece, thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much Pat ! Just wondering how I can separate the metal from other debris. Any tricks ?

Oh and I particularly loved that you explained how to get that melted look on the edges. I’ve been wondering about that for sooo long !

A magnet will pick out the base metal, but I am not sure if that is what you are asking.
Hello. I have a couple of questions. How much did this piece weigh? Also I just purchased some 800 silver pickle and relish forks that aren't pretty and after watching your video, I think this would be a nice solution. Any suggestions since reticulated 800 is probably going to be very brittle. Thank you for sharing this video!

I believe that 800 silver is what we call reticulation silver which is 80% silver 20% copper, if so that should work. Reticulation silver is a bit brittle but it still can be forged and worked with as long as it is somewhat thick so you need at least 20 gauge I use 18 gauge. The piece in this video weighs about 40 grams. Be careful with your forks it can be very easy to overheat and melt the edges and even melt holes in the piece. Good luck.
What gauge is the silver? Beautiful !
