Copper Tubing and Sterling Silver Bangle

Description

B-897
Bangles! This is made with plain old hardware store copper tubing. I carefully wound it around a mandrel and flattened the ends. The ends were then riveted together with a copper tack. Then the fun began! I coiled about 6 yards of 24 gauge sterling silver wire over 16 gauge sterling silver wire. The center spirals were formed to give this bangle an uptown chic look. The bangle was oxidized, hand cleaned and then tumbled in a rotary tumbler for extra shine.  Sizing is a bit tricky on bangles. This will fit over my hand easily. It will fit a medium size hand/wrist. The cool thing about this design is that I can make virtually any size required.
