Hi, I'm looking for some advice on making a piece of jewellery.
I was in a bead shop last week with my wife and I saw a metal cuff bracelet. It looked like it may have been made from brass, it was hammered in appearence on the inside. It was about 3/4cm wide and on the outside was some form of black resin which had been spread across the cuff and used to stick things such as beads and other colourful obejects to the surface. What caught my eye was a small broken watch face had been stuck onto it and also a part of the watch mechanism had been stuck along side. It looked really nice.
So for mothers day I want to make my wife one very similar, as we've recently had a little girl who's 6 weeks old. I'm going to try and get an old broken watch face, the ones that shows the date. Then set the date and time to when my daughter was born and then set it onto the cuff.
What I need to know is what type of resin or something similar could I use to attach objects to a hammered metal cuff and where could I buy it online? Also where would be a good place to purchase a hammered metal cuff? I don't want something that's going to turn her wrist green but nothing too expensive that I'm just going to deface anyway.
I'm looking to spend around 30/40 pound all together. Any idea's on the resin? That's my main query. I'll need something that will stick and not fall off or react with the matal, that's my main concern.
Thank you,
Jack.
