These pieces of silver are symmetrically and organic, having that natural feeling. Each strip has been soldered with another where these metals joins. There is tapering on it from wider to thinner. The surface of the piece has been brushed polished. The designer used a roller for the depth and the show of volume on each of these pieces, thickness of this bracelet and the hinges have been created on two sections which makes it easier to open and close(functionality). The design was more designed in a flowery way because it looks usually that these metals have been recycled from a bin its more a scratched waist of sliver pieces and the names of these pieces just suits them “folds, folds II and liquids II”.

Folds-The metal thickness on this piece is not equal,it has a muscular look and feeling because of the way it has been formed and designed. Its more havier on my perspective of view and it is an unusually design mean its more unique.

Folds II- Its unusually but I cant cleary say something more about the thickness of this piece because most of the area its more equally thickness and it is has a less mass weight than "folds I". It has some bends on it too.

Liquids II- this piece has been manufactured with four strips of silver metal all having the same thickness on my perspective view, the designer made the two strips more to a straight line but not completelly and soldered others perpenducular.
