And more stars

I made another 6-petal Celtic star and decided to try making a 5-petal one with the remaining rings from both the gunmetal one (bottom of the pic) and the non-tarnish one (top right). I found two smaller rings for the middle and counted off how many rings I would need and, thankfully, I had enough.

DS and DD both prefer the gunmetal one. I think I prefer a silver one (from rhodium or aluminium rings) with an accent charm for some colour. 

Have a blessed day!

This reminds me of chocolate

The shiny brass is like the foil on the outside and the gunmetal, the chocolate within. :-)

Mobius chain bracelet with 3-ring brass Mobius flowers or love knots and double connectors in gunmetal. This time, I used a heart lobster clasp with an extension chain. Total of 57 brass rings with 5.5mm ID and 45 gunmetal rings with 3.5mm ID.

Have a blessed day!

All that glitters

Byzantine bracelet made from non-tarnish brass. It's so shiny and I don't know how to take a pic to show this. I'm happy that this star toggle matches the wire. Sometimes metals have different shades. I'll show you the gunmetal next time and you can see what I mean.

144 jump rings were made from 20-gauge wire wound with inner diameter 3.5mm and then cut and pieced  together. I like this wire. Deliberately made in an 'airy' fashion (compared to typical Byzantine links which are closer together) so it's slinky when worn.

Have a blessed day!
