Almost featherweight

This shaggy bracelet is the lightest so far despite having the most glass beads. That's 'cos I've used aluminium rings this time. 5mm ID 18 gauge bright aluminium rings. I didn't count how many but they're certainly lighter than the rhodium ones. Sometimes value of jewelry is affected by the weight of it but this one bucks the trend by being chunky yet lightweight so continuous wear is not an issue. I like the sound this makes as well, with the soft clinks of the rings against the glass beads. Fun bracelet to wear :-)

Have a blessed day!

Splash of colour

More aluminium rings arrived yesterday and I made these. Two Byzantine chains using bright and matte anodised ones. The chain with blue looks like a silver chain with a blue ribbon woven inside. DD requested for hers to have green on the outside.

This is not my first attempt at a whirlybird but it's the prettiest. I'll need to experiment more to find the right mix of rings to make these sturdier. I'll want to try putting a marble in too :-)

Have a blessed weekend!
