Iron Furnace Slag Bracelet

Handmade sterling silver chain bracelet with Iron Furnace Flag Stone (“NH turquoise”). Some porous inclusions are filled with gold mica powder and resin, making the slag look like the Japanese practice Kintsugi (filling cracks with gold).

Lucy’s note: This is a piece of slag from the stone stack in Franconia. It is the lovely by-product of the iron industry that supported our region 200 years ago. The slag was poured into the river and was polished as it tumbled over time. There was a similar industry in this area (Gilmanton Iron Works) so slag can probably be found there too!”

Stone measures approximately 1/2 inches tall by 1/2 of an inch at widest. Bracelet length is 7-3/4 inches long.
