Here's a picture of a copper cuff bracelet I made a while ago.
I used 28 gauge copper wire, and tiny steel knitting needles...a little at a time because my fingers got so sore from pulling on the wire to get the tension even. This cuff took me a long time to make!
Because the edges were a little uneven, and to give the cuff more strength, I made copper sheet edging, folded over, and hand-riveted, then formed on my bracelet mandrel.
I then embellished the copper knitting with turquoise seedbeads...overall a pleasing effect I think.
Would I do it again? Hmmmm.....I'll have to consult my fingers, LOL.
