Fresh off the bench - Sterling Silver Spinning Top Cuff

I've been wanting to make this fidget cuff for quite some time, but a previous failure at a spinning top ring had me a bit leery. It was back in 2013 when I took a "kinetic rings" weekend workshop with local San Diego (now former) metalsmithing teacher, Connie Fox. Well, mine didn't spin due to the solder flowing where it wasn't supposed to in the final soldering stage 🤦so I ended up cutting off the ring topper and making it into a pendant (scroll for pic).

Anyway, as a girl who grew up on Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right, I enjoy "spinny things" and have been wanting to incorporate more movement into my jewelry. I'm feeling more confident now after putting on my big girl panties and was successful with this cuff - swipe for video to see it in action.

I used a couple of mandala dies from Blackmagicsilversmithshop to make the textures on the spinning top, and a lampshade banding through the rolling mill for the cool cuff texture.

I made this cuff a bit long (about 6.5") but can cut a little off the ends to make it shorter. Shown on my 6.5" wrist (it's too big on me).
