I decided that this year I would try to diversify a little and do some different pieces, rather than just earrings! This is quite a simple piece design-wise - but involved many, many hours of patient coiling and wrapping!!
I made the links with sterling wire, soldered together, then coiled with fine wire and wrapped again with tiny peacock freshwater pearls. I attached chain in between the links with more wrapping, then added clusters of peacock pearls, white Swarovski pearls, and gorgeous faceted sapphires.
I have forget-me-nots growing wild in my garden that keep self-seeding each year, I'm never quite sure where they're going to turn up! I'm hoping this piece has the same humble charm :-)

Its beautiful Maz!!
Maz I really admire all your work it shows such amazing attention to detail. It's all stunning !
Absolutely gorgeous, Maz. And such a lot of work in it.
Maz, this is beautiful! I am so jealous :) The soldering really has opened up new shapes for your work. Do you find the soldered pieces stronger than wired together pieces?
I love the bracelet, very different in what you usually concentrate on, and the colours are wonderful. Keep it up!

Thank you everyone, I'm planning on doing more bracelets I really enjoyed making this! :)
Melissa - thank you, yes I'm finding the soldered pieces are much stronger! I tend still to do a bit of both, but the option is always there :)
