Manatee Bracelet

A heavily pitted surface texture stretches across each full-body link of this bracelet, using the photo-etched brass to mimic a manatee's naturally wrinkled hide. I like how clearly the design outlines the broad paddle tail and rounded front flippers these slow-moving herbivores use to navigate shallow coastal waters. The piece was produced in both gold and silver-rhodium finishes.
