simple silver charm bracelet



This was a simple silver bracelet i made. I bought a small link belcher chain in a bracelet length.  Bought a separate clasp.  The key ring hooks on the charms themselves  were very fiddly, I used silver jump rings to attach the charms to the bracelet.  Only have the 3 charms because as they say in the world of design;- 'less is more'.

Shaped Copper bangle


I had some spare copper and decided to make a bangle with it, After guillotoining the slight angle shape I wanted for the hammered side of the bangle I then welded the 2 strips of copper together.  I filed the edges of the bangle to get the rounded off edges and wet and dry sandpaper to get rid of any sharpness. Hard to perhaps detect in this picture, need another but the entire bangle has a satin finish using a buffer designed for that effect reducing shine.
