Chasing and Repoussé - The Process:
Step one: The strip of gold is placed in a pitch bowl and the design is chased on the front of the piece using straight and curved liners.
Step two: The piece is then placed facedown and the relief is raised from the back of the metal using punches of different shapes and sizes.
Step three: After raising the relief, the metal is annealed and put face up in the pitch for final chasing.
Step four: The bracelet is shaped over a mandrel and the bezels are soldered on. The height of each bezel is adjusted by sanding the top.
Step five: Setting the stones
