Today I made this copper chain anklet for myself.
Wanted to use these jade chips which I have for some time now. Still hadn’t put them to proper use. They are very beautiful seen from up close.
Made the chain trying this new link. It is actually pretty standard but the loops are larger. Which adds interest when you see the connected links.
Finished it with my new favorite type of clasp, what a surprise (I think I am going to overuse it anyway). Made it from 18 gauge copper but I wonder if it should be made of higher gauge, having in mind that it’s on the leg.
Here are some more photos of the anklet:
It’s comfortable. Now let’s see how it holds up to heavy wearing in summer weather. Won’t put it off when bathing, too. I’m particularly interested in how the copper will react with my skin and how it will change.
