This linked hummingbird bracelet was created by using 20 gauge recycled copper. Each piece was handcut, drilled and filed before patterned.  Next the metal was "annealed" which means heated with a torch until bright red then quenched in water to cool.  This softens the metal so it is more receptive to the patterning process.  A steel design plate was used to pattern each bracelet piece with hummingbirds and bits of flora.  All handcrafted.  A patina is applied which adds color and contrast to the copper.  A sealer was applied for durability.
The linked bracelet has a lobster clasp and measures 7".  Additional links can be added if additional length is desired.
This is the perfect gift for someone who loves unique, handcrafted jewelry.
