This handmade chainmaille (also known as chainmail) bracelet is handcrafted from 18 gauge copper rings woven in a European 4 in 1 pattern.
The 18 gauge hook clasp is also handcrafted.
This piece, although smooth and flexible, is quite substantial with a bit of weight to it. It has been tumbled to a shiny copper finish which will age over time to a deep rich brown. If you prefer the shiny look it can be polished with a copper cleaner or soaked in ketchup for a few hours and then scrubbed with a soft brush (Yes it really works - I have done it)!
This bracelet measures approximately 7-1/4 inches (18.5cm)in length including the clasp and will fit a 7 inch (17.75)wrist.
It measures approximately 3/4 of an inch (2cm)wide.
This bracelet can be lengthened or shortened upon request. If you need an adjustment made, please allow an additional 2 days for shipping.
This bracelet reminds me of knitting which I do. Can you imagine the skill it takes to do it with copper? To see more of this artists work check out the shop.
wow - that's a lot of chain! Wonder if it's heavy?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for featuring my bracelet. I just joined Etsybloggers a few weeks ago and I'm having a ball.
ReplyDeleteNo, it isn't heavy at all.
