I'm continuing to experiment with chain maille (or chainmail, if you prefer). This bracelet is a box weave, made from 18 gauge Argentium™ sterling silver wire.
I've linked to the Wikipedia article, but let me explain about Argentium™ here. Sterling silver is an alloy made from 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metal(s), most commonly copper. Copper is a great and useful metal, but it does tarnish, and its presence in sterling silver causes the sterling silver to tarnish also. Argentium™ is a sterling silver alloy with germanium used in place of some of the copper. The big advantage the germanium provides is that it makes Argentium™ sterling silver highly tarnish resistant.
Anyway, back to the bracelet:
The clasp is a sterling silver toggle clasp. (I prefer hook & eye clasps normally, but toggle clasps are more secure on bracelets.)
The bracelet is 7.25 inches long. I can subtract rings to shorten the bracelet. If you don't need the earrings, I can make the bracelet longer by another inch or two. The weight is 0.9 oz.
Their length is just under 1 inch, and they weigh 0.2 oz. If you don't need earrings but do need a longer bracelet, just let me know.
Price: $78 (shipping is free)
