This bracelet was crafted by chasing, a time-honored metalworking technique of decorating by handwork the surface of a malleable metal by indenting it and so raising the design to create a relief pattern, using of a great number of differently shaped tracing tools, tracers, and a chasing hammer.
The making of this bracelet involves several steps. Forge the silver into the shape that the bracelet requires first, then create patterns of dragon heads and beads by hammers one end of tracers with the other end pushing the silver, and shape the figured silver sheet into a bracelet.
