This is my interesting find for today. I discovered that, after taking the bracelet to Geri, this is made of copper which has been "aged". I wonder if this is a one-off.
:-))))
Thanks for coming by!

Ivy leaves! Strong sentimental symbolism: "je meurs où je m'attache" aka I die where I settle.
Plus a snake... temptation?
Metal is perhaps patinated alpaca?
Anyway, a very nice cuff :-D
kyra - seems to be too strong to be alpacca. It's almost like flexible steel. I've never seen a piece of jewelry like this, so nothing to use for comparison. I'll take it to Geri tomorrow - maybe she's seen something like this before.
It may be one of those stainless steel blanks that sell in craft stores with added crafts components, a very pleasing result.
Beautiful !!! I'm curious what your friend will say about it !!!
davyd286 - that is definitely a possibility. I searched the web but found nothing that looks like this bracelet. Just a necklace made in the form of ivy leaves. Whoever made this bracelet did a bang up job. It's gorgeous.
It is really beautiful Bonnie, hope you get some answers to know more about it!!!
I love the ivy leaves and snake .....such symbolism!
Ms.CrystalShip - I live in the southern tip of the Netherlands. There are about 15 thrift shops in vicinity of my house - within a half hour's drive. The people who work in these shops like to fancy themselves savvy to the old and valuable but, fortunately for me, that's not always the case here.
Lucky girl! Where do you find all this stuff!!
Ms.CrystalShip agree! Where is all this stuff !!! Thrift shops here around rarely sell something interesting. I have to go to flea market, and seek for not-posh corners to find something interesting.
Her knowledge is amazing. I look at the dollar jewelry bins and displays and just shake my head and walk away. So, knowledge and patience of which I have neither. I do love your posts and information Bonnie!! Thanks for sharing. It gives me hope.:) Ah...maybe one day.
SEASON's GREETINGS to YOU & YOURS EFESGIRL !!! ! !!!
