Silver bracelet

I stepped outside my comfort zone on this one. I was asked to make a bangle-type bracelet as a Christmas present for someone. She wanted one with an open back and she also wanted it to be a statement bracelet.

She tried on one a friend had made at Aldborough Creative but she said it was too 'scratchy'. I decided that making it out of thick silver wire would be the way to make it most comfortable. So I made all the circles. Then flattened them slightly so there was a  bigger contact between them to solder. Then I dinked them to add a bit of interest and bent the whole construction into a bangle.

It was a bit of a sweat to get together and solder neatly as my skill level is not great. But it worked and I'm pleased with the result. It's very comfortable to wear and I think will stand up to rough treatment. One solder snapped as I bent and hammered the bracelet to shape but I managed to re-do that. I feel that any others that were going to give would have done so by now.

I've posted it here as I'm pretty sure she doesn't read my blog.

How could she not like that? It's lovely Fiona and I like the circles theme too. Aren't you clever?!
