Beautiful Jasper bracelet

Today I finally finished off my first piece of jewellery that I'm happy to upload to my blog! Hurrah! 
The bracelet is made with Impression Jasper rondelle beads which are graduated and wrapped with copper wire. It has two copper discs wired in to 
the wire work to break up the beads.

      

The gemstones are a beautiful blue jasper with light brown veins running through them. It measures 8 inches in total but would be easy to adjust to either smaller or larger. Very shortly there will be earrings to match this bracelet.


A few weeks ago I made a quick pair of earrings out of copper to wear one afternoon. They are made from squares cut from copper with smaller sterling silver circles soldered onto the copper and stamped with a star. They are meant to have a rustic look about them.
