SOLD: custom-made copper charm bracelet

Jul 02, 2008 15:30

Since my earlier bracelet offer got snapped up promptly as a Buy-It-Now, and I know there were a few other folks interested in the piece...here's a second chance!

Offer: I will work with you to design a charm bracelet on a base of solid copper chain and copper findings, your choice of clasp style, with bead dangles in glass, metal, wood, ceramic, small crystals, polymer clay, semi-precious stones, or other materials -- if you're interested in costlier items like gemstone beads, large crystals, etc., this can be negotiated for an extra fee. You can pick a favorite color scheme, give me a general theme to work with, or provide photos of a favorite garment or other piece of jewelry you'd like to coordinate this with. If your wrists are sized sufficiently small or large that the "average" ready-made bracelet sizes of 7-inch and 9-inch lengths don't fit you properly, I can make this to a custom length of your choosing, or else do a design that incorporates an extender chain that lets you adjust the fit. (This last option is a particularly good idea if you're buying this for a gift and are uncertain of the recipient's bracelet size.) Or if you prefer, I can even make this in anklet-length instead of bracelet-sized...

Click on the image links below for a few previous examples. While I will not try to exactly duplicate any of these designs, I'm willing to make pieces in similar color schemes or patterns. If you prefer something more delicate than these medium-to-heavy curb chain bases, I can also get copper chain in weights and link sizes comparable to these silvertone pieces.






Still photos don't really do charm bracelets justice -- they look even prettier in motion on the wrist than they do just lying there in the jewelry box. :)

My family has been doing beadwork for many generations, and I've been beading since I was a child, working in a range of different styles and techniques for over thirty years now. You can see a few other examples of my work by clicking my seller tag here, as well as my DA Gallery.

Minimum Bid: $10 USD

Buy It Now: $50 USD

Delivery: Will be completed and mailed within one month of finalizing your design specifications. It will probably be ready much faster than that, but I'm allowing plenty of "wiggle room" in case certain components need to be special ordered -- and the chain base in particular, if you want anything other than medium or heavy curb chain in 7" or 9" lengths, I will definitely need to order for custom lengths or link styles. Pricing is higher than my previous offer to allow for the extra time and expense involved in the design consult and acquiring new beads and components to suit your design choices, instead of just working with items already on hand. I'm happy to ship outside of the US, but please consider the greater cost of international shipping when bidding...

The bracelet will be sent in a cloth gift pouch; if you'd like this to arrive ready for gift-giving, I'll be happy to put it in a ribbon-tied gift box for a small extra fee -- just let me know the occasion/color scheme you'd like the packaging to suit!
