Now something for our Magpies fellas perhaps?
And as it would happen, because I am sleeping on my floor for every week of this new year so far, I have indeed got them ready and just off to the Assay Office for hallmarking, so that they can be shipped out (UK mainland at least) in time for my Magpies to gift their S/o for this Valentines.
Don't worry Ladies there are still a small number of stock pieces for your guy to buy YOU for Valentines, so get hinting in their general direction.
I find pulling faces to screens really helps, as us guys are not generally great with hints. (28yrs with Mrs H.G, she would agree)
But back to these pieces.
The smallest four 925 Sterling Silver bangles are already sold I'm afraid (£690 each) but I have included them in the images as you are used to my Magpie Class bangles, especially as this is the weight I have always made them in copper for the page in the past.
They show just how MASSIVE my Titan Class bangles really are.
Three of them are also 925 sterling silver, and are now being hallmarked for next week (I hope to get them back by Monday late afternoon, but Tuesday morning latest). With one Extra chunky twisted wire bangle in Copper, and the final piece being a Chrome Bronze Hexagonal Bangle, that is genuinely an absolute beast of a bangle.
It was so hard to hammer in to shape, I was essentially blacksmithing and making so much noise the guy in the flat next door to my office (next building along) was banging the wall... Well if they want to gentrify the street I have worked in for 34 years, and get their EC1 flatlets at the expense of another workshop going forever, noise comes with the territory. Hehehe.
The available bangles are:
1. A 925 solid Sterling Silver, 3 wire twist bangle, made with 3.5mm round wires. (7.3mm across entire cross-section of bangle) weighing 66.5grams.
****Price is: £971. inc VAT (plus shipping)****
2. A 925 solid Sterling Silver, 3 wire twist bangle, made with 4mm round wires. (8.8mm across the entire cross-section of bangle) weighing 88.5grams.
****Price is: £1110. inc VAT (plus shipping)****
3. A 925 solid Sterling Silver, 'Six-round-one' wire twist bangle, made with 3mm round wires. (9.6mm across the entire cross-section of the bangle) It weighs 117grams.
****Price is: £1342 inc VAT (plus shipping)****
4. A Solid Copper, 'FIVE-round-one' wire twist bangle, made with a 2mm wire copper core, and five 2.9mm round wires twisted around the core. (8.5mm across the entire cross-section of the bangle) It weighs 74grams in solid copper.
****Price is £250 (DM for enquiries please)****
5. A super heavy weight Chrome Bronze Bangle (Copper, Tin and a small amount of Chrome, with makes it impossibly hard) This piece has a Hexagonal cross section that measures 9.5mm across from flat-to-flat, or 10.55mm across from point-to-point.
I am currently shaping the ends of this bangle, from all six facets, to have a Gothic Arch profile, bringing each end to a soft bullet-point.
Currently it weighs 141grams, but this will reduce from shaping the ends (which I have already started)
****Price is £440 (DM for enquiries please)****
The three silver bangles have HALF of my normal mark-up, so represent a huge page discount.
Items 4 & 5 do not require Assay, so the Copper twist can be posted right away, and as soon as I am able to finish filing the ends to shape on the Bronze one likewise that can be shipped out.
All of the silver bangles will need to be shipped via Royal Mail Special Delivery (£30 added to bangle cost on your invoice). Items 4 & 5 can be sent signed/tracked for £10, or you may choose Special Delivery for £30.
I have now used up every single last scrap of silver in my workshop, a fact for which my lungs will be very pleased. I have spent most of today cleaning the workshop of silver dust as a result of making what I have, and have zero intention of replicating any of these available pieces at any point in the future.
All five bangles made to fit on an 8.5 wrist, but can be opened or closed to suit how you want to wear them. Except for the Bronze one, which you WILL NOT be able to move without tools, and a lot of grunting noise (required!)
Once these five items are gone that is it, so come on Magpies... maybe it is time to treat your guy. Please drop me a message for your chosen piece. First to go to invoice gets. I cannot hold over for anyone.
Existing clients of with accounts of good standing can opt for a payment plan on the above 5 available bangles. You will even get the bangle in time for Valentines still.
Kindest Regards.
Your Busy Boy.
