Hinged Bracelet

Carlie made this hinged bracelet back in 2008. Starting in 2004 or 2005 we made these kinds of bracelets with interlocking jump ring chains for 6 or 7 years. We really got into playing with chain patterns and various hinged designs to help the bracelet fit right on the wrist. One year when we were on the road doing March art fairs in Arizona and the Palm Springs area I made 6 feet of this kind of chain. It was one of the few productive things that I could make while on the road.
This one is made of silver & gold with a little bit of copper, set with black onyx, holly blue agate from Oregon, fresh water pearl, garnet and lapis lazuli.
