Tony - this bracelet is very attractive and well crafted. Someone's mom is very proud.

May I ask what metals? Sterling for bracelet but what about the other metals for flowers, leaves and scrolls?

That is real nice bracelet, can you tell something about the what and how?
Looks like a silver bracelet, so did you solder the gold on it after bending before engraving?
The black background perhaps is a result of the oxidized silver.

Thanks Fellas,
All Moms are special, they hold a special spot in sons and daughters.As did mine.
I soldered, brief polished and engraved all components,(sterling base, yellow gold scrolls,green gold leaves, rose gold rosette, sterling border trim) while the bracelet was flat, I then shaped it, buffed , set the ruby stone. The black background I did with Vigors Black Antique. I do manufacture these for retail in my small shop.
Thanks again for the feedback guys.
