Lost Wax Casting: Koi Cuff Bracelet (cont'd)

Here is my finished bracelet after polishing with Tripoli.   I'm really proud of this bracelet which probably took around 30 hours to carve in wax and another 4 hours to finish in metal.  Too bad it's quite heavy and not at all comfortable to wear!  It looks great on my jewellery stand though and turned out better than I ever would have thought.  I will just have to make my second bracelet even better (after a little break in between, of course).
