newest bangle

I’d been thinking about making myself a nice sterling silver bracelet most of autumn. I couldn’t find the perfect focal for a while…then working the wire. Finally I came up with this and then it was too small. I don’t make jewelry very often and my natural instinct is to make everything too small. So last year when I made myself a bracelet I fought that impulse and ended up w/ one that was too big. I finally finished a version that fits! It’s still small, and I should have used a gauge smaller (thicker) wire for the mandrel and clasp. But it still stays on fine and makes me happy.
