The bracelet is a circle of polished silver tube, with an extra quarter of the circumference forming the start of a coil. One end of the tube is capped with a small ball of 18ct yellow gold. Protruding from the other end is three strands of steel cable, varying in length. Each strand has four beads of carnelian, two small, then one bigger, and a medium at the end. Each wire has a small piece of 18ct yellow gold tube at the end of the cable to keep the beads secured.
Australian Master artist-jeweller and author, Dorothy Erickson, hails from Western Australia and has been exhibiting her jewellery internationally since 1979.
Erickson draws inspiration for her many collections on different aspects of geometry, the wild and domesticated landscapes of Western Australia and in later collections the paintings of Gustav Klimt. Some of her later collections are also based off the wildflower paintings of her mother Rica Erickson. You can see these influences come through in her use of form, texture, colour and material.
