Element 29

A Copper Wire Wrapped Bangle Bracelet

Copper: Element symbol - CU
Element number - 29

Copper is a very important metal that has been used for over 5000 years. It is very malleable, and is a good conductor of heat and electricity second only to silver in electrical conductivity. Its alloys are brass and bronze; Monel and gunmetal also have copper in them. Large copper ore deposits are found in the United States, Canada, Chile, Peru, Zaire, and Zambia. (Did you know that you were going to get a science and geography lesson today?)

This handsome copper bangle bracelet has lots twists and turns with the main focal point being an awesome ceramic copper bead! There are also two amber glass beads that coordinate perfectly with the copper wire! It is a 7-3/4 inch bracelet that will fit comfortably on a 6-1/2 to 7-1/2 inch wrist. The hook closure is easy to open and close with just one hand and is sturdy enough to keep it secure on your wrist!



The Element 29 bracelet is made with natural copper wire, not a coated craft wire, so it will patina nicely over time! If you prefer your copper to remain bright, just pour a little Worcestershire sauce over it, rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth. Thank you for looking!

Here are some very interesting octopus facts:

They have three hearts, two that pump blood through the gills and one pumps blood through the body

Each tentacle has 240 suction cups to hold its prey (that’s a total of 1920 suction cups!)

If they loose a tentacle, they can regenerate a new one

They are completely deaf and communicate by changing colors

Inspiration Can Come

From Anywhere!

Inspired by Inna Zhukova of Belarus who won a silver medal for Rhythmic Gymnastics during the 2008 Summer Olympics!

I love to watch the Olympics and the gymnastics events always hold my interest! I have always been amazed with the rhythmic gymnastics style; the routines are so elegant and graceful! Inna’s performance this summer was awesome and as I watched this design came to mind!

This necklace starts with a sterling silver circle (like the hoop she used in one program), it is wrapped in many feet of very fine sterling silver wire! I attached wire wrapped sterling loops, which look so much like the ribbons used in the rhythmic gymnastics! Then I added several different semi-precious stones: a gorgeous pink amethyst, 3mm garnet rounds, pink pearl rondelles, and almondine garnets, they remind me of the lovely leotards that are worn by the gymnasts!

This beautiful pendant is on an 18-inch sterling silver rolo chain and you will find it for sale in my Etsy shop!
