Description
Chainmail band of 4-1 weave, with eclectic charms along one side. I made this modeled after my personal charm bracelet when people began to comment on mine. There's a chain of turquoise beads, a metal ring with a ball on it, a green stone from an erstwhile job, a short metal chain... the idea being bits and pieces of ephemera with meaning.Related content

This is way cool! I love it! And you're the only other person I've ever met who knows what ephemera is...

We can wander around shaking hands and randomly saying 'ephemera'! And perhaps make collages.

Brilliant idea! I love the title and the whole look the bracelet has! You seem to have picked just the right pieces; nothing looks cluttered or out of place, but it's still busy and interesting. Beautiful work.

Well thank you for the lovely feedback! My main worry in creating these styles is that I'll worry too much and over-analyze the placement. But my favourite part of this is the turquoise chain detail.

Haha, well, your analysis certainly paid off! Also, now that you mention it, I think that's my favourite part, too!

Thank you! Making these is a unique thrill and challenge, because it has to look eclectic but not totally random, and the placement of each charm has to be rigiht. It's easy to go overboard on the self-editing while selecting and placing each charm.

It's funny the different reactions this piece engenders! My sister doesn't like it much, she thinks it's junky-looking (though in a nice way). But other people's jaws drop! Thanks so much!

I'd buy that in a second. And usually I don't wear jewelry. But with all those little gems on it, the bracelet is so charming. Not to mention metal weave.

Oh my god, this reminds me of my absolute favourite bracelet, only it's actually BETTER! I am so blown away by this piece! It really makes me want to go back to working with mail. I love the charms, they are a perfect choice for this piece. It is just stunning! I am in love!

Wow, that's a lot of love! I'm flattered. By all means, work more mail! It's hypnotic, isn't it. Almost not tedious at all (unless you have a really big piece).
