I created this bracelet from sturdy 16 gague copper. It's made up of four love knot links along with four of my lampwork beads and a handmade hook and eye clasp. Made for a smaller wrist, this bracelet measures about 6 1/2 inches on the arm. I can add another love knot link which would increase the measurement about an inch, if desired.

The bracelet was artificially aged using liver of sulfer and hand buffed with steel wool then tumbled. It's easy to keep the copper looking good simply by buffing with OOOO steel wool occasionally.

The glass is one of my favorites - a Vetrofond hand-pulled Oddly Odd color in swirling moss greens and marine blues with hints of gold. All my beads are digitally kiln annealed, carefully cleaned and inspected.
