Well, there is absolutely no rest for the wicked, and school is back with a bang.

| Detail of the box clasp |
This semester I am continuing my studies with jewellery and I am undertaking 'Advanced Techniques' which is mainly gem setting, but it also includes making complicated clasps, including the box clasp.
As well as creating a box clasp that 'clicked' when it closes, our brief was to design a bracelet that integrated with the clasp.
Of course, I made a large one and it is approximately 2.5cm long x 1.5cm wide. Making it larger also made it harder, for some strange reason.

| Detail of the chain |
I used commercial chain and threaded lengths of silver through the chain to replicate a fence like structure. It also started to look like a spine, musical notes, or the DNA structure.
Box clasps are incredibly tricky to make, and quite fiddly. Its most likely my first and last box clasp I ever make!
