I showed you in a previous post how I made these rings. I made soldered rings in copper and silver, then make a series of jump rings from 1mm silver and copper wire to join them together. I have not copper plated the solder on the copper rings (it would copper plate the silver too!), but I don't think it's that jarring.
I made the toggle clasp from a piece of 2mm square silver wire which I left unhammered to create contrast with the hammered rings. I soldered half a jump ring on the back and attached it with rings. It slips through the end circle on the bracelet to do up.
This is the second bracelet I've made from large links and I love it! It goes very well with my Adidas Superstars which have copper stripes!
I've assembled most of the necklace I'm making, I'm just soldering the jump rings (and there are loads!), but it won't be touched again until September. Hope I don't forget about it!

The mixture of metals works really well, doesn't it!
What a great bracelet! I love the texture in the rings....so pretty :)
That's a lovely bracelet.
a unique bracelet loving that you have both copper and silver in it will look so good when you complete the necklace and wear them together
Looking good! Make a note in every diary/calendar you have to remind you to finish the necklace. Works for me!
Sooo nice!
The bracelet makes a great statement piece. Looking forward to seeing your necklace too.
love the colours of the different metals together
It looks great! Wonderful job :D
