Copper Swirls Set

These are my latest creations. A coiled copper wire necklace, bracelet & earrings set. The necklace is coiled copper wire with round copper beads, 2 square copper beads and a lampwork focal bead. The chain is a triangular shaped links and is attached with s-hook links and closed with an s-hook clasp.
The copper wire is coiled around a base wire of coiled copper and swirls around the beads.
The photo above is the front side, and the one below is the back side.


The photo below is the coiled copper bangle. It is a coiled copper wire coiled around the copper coiled base wire with round copper beads, square copper beads and a lamp work focal bead. It is fastened with a handmade s-hook clasp.

The earrings in the set are simple coiled copper swirls hung from a copper earwire.
Though the coiling took a while, I really enjoyed making this set. The bangle was the first piece I created. The inspiration was the lampwork bead that I purchased at the Gatlinburg Craft Festival last fall.
