Nancy Linkin’s contemporary jewelry is inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds her Maine studio. Her Half Open Cuff, which is 0.5” at its widest point and has a 1.0” opening, is handmade from Sterling Silver and 18 Karat Gold Bi-metal. To create her modern jewelry, Nancy uses the anticlastic raising technique. Flat patterns are cut from sheets of gold and silver and hammered systematically over specialized tools. The final form is filed, sanded, and buffed to a high polish.
