Bark Collar with Twig Chain – Argentium Silver 940
This Argentium Silver Bark Collar Necklace is part of the 🌿 LIFE Design Group — grounded in natural texture and quiet strength. I form the central collar by layering and soldering thin pieces of silver until a true bark pattern emerges. The finished surface shows fine ridges and valleys that catch and reflect light in subtle tones.
Each necklace is hand-built and finished, then joined to a handmade twig chain created from fused Argentium silver wire. The combination of bark and twig forms gives the necklace both structure and movement — solid at the center and fluid along the sides. The adjustable chain and lobster clasp allow a comfortable fit for everyday or formal wear.

I layer and solder small pieces of Argentium silver to create the bark texture, then fuse twig-like links for the chain. After assembling and refining the joints, I polish the entire piece to reveal contrast between smooth and textured surfaces.
