I’ve been playing with copper sheet for a while now and recently started experimenting with stamping. I made this bracelet by stamping spirals all over a 1/2″ wide by six” long piece of 24Ga copper sheet.
I decided it needed something, so I created a flower for the center. The flower evolved from two circles I had cut in different sizes.
Not knowing quite how to rivet yet, I made the spiral in the center to connect the circles. The spiral wire end was then cut close on the inside and actually riveted! I was playing it by ear and it worked!!! I did order some rivets online for the next project however.

No one does copper work like you, Zoraida! And this bracelet is no exception.
Love the spiral texturing with the sweet ruffled flower focal.
Making copper bangles is on my long to do list. This is really beautiful, so much
attention to detail.
Very nicely done. I really like the stamping and yes, the flower does give that missing something. Great job!
Zoraida….I just love your jewelry! You do amazing work!
Thank you so much ladies. I really appreciate your compliments and encouragement!!
Zoraida,
This is a gorgeous piece of work! Thanks very much for sharing! 🙂
