For my very first post of this new blog I am going to share with you the bracelet I finished making. I started it the week of Christmas but there was just too many things going on to find time to complete it. But I did add a link every now and then and yesterday I sat down and finished it up! YAY
It's 12K gold-filled wire. Not gold plated. This has many many layers of gold on it, and these layers don't chip off like plated does. I thought it would be fun to use solid gold wire but the cost of it is not so fun!!
Hubby had some gold wire he wasn't using so it became my gold wire. He didn't have enough of the larger gauge, so I alternated each link with a smaller gauge wire. The smaller gauge wire was SO much easier to work with.
This was fun to make and even more fun to wear! I plan to make a copper one soon. I need to tumble this one to see if I can't get some of the scratches out. Gold is a very soft metal to work with and it's very easy to mar up!
Thank you for stopping in today,
Wanda
