Cross Inlay European 4 and 1

Sterling silver Bracelets are so pretty

Sterling Silver and Copper European 4 and 1 Bracelet with Cross Inlay

cross-inlay-on-bottle-topThis sterling silver 4 in 1 bracelet has been inlayed with copper crosses that are subtle enough that people will look twice. This bracelet measures 1” (2.5cm) across and 8” (20cm) long from end to end. It is held firm by a sterling silver lobster clasp. It weighs in at a full 2 oz!

A 4 in 1 is a very “slinky” style weave. It moves with you and bends to catch the light. It is the perfect style for someone that wants the shine without a lot of weight.

All of my chainmaille (chainmail) is made with quality sterling silver or copper that has been hand coiled and saw cut into thousands of rings before being woven together into intricate patterns. The finished pieces are then tumbled to complete the work hardening process and polishing process. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Hand Painted Animal Patterns

Check it out

Animal Instincts Drink Glasses

Animal Instincts Pattern
Animal Instincts
Animal Instincts cheetah giraffe
Animal Intincts tiger zebra

Take a walk on the wild side! These 4 fluted glasses
would work equally well for beer, wine, water, or champagne. Each has been hand
painted with a different animal print in vivid color. The patterns include a
giraffe, zebra, cheetah/leppard, and a tiger stripe. Each glass stands a proud 9
inches tall and has a 3 1/2 inch opening.

The paint is heat cured enamel that is safe in the top rack of your
dishwasher.

Custom orders are always welcomed! Just chose a glass (I have a few more of
this style) and your pattern and watch your vision come alive.

Want to add to the drama? How about an entire table service in the same
pattern? Salt and pepper shakers, cream and sugar set, gravy boat, cruet set,
butter dish, and coffee mugs. All featuring any pattern you choose.
