Plus size and unisex bracelets... and earrings, too!

I've added 2 new bracelets as well as a pair of earrings to my Etsy shop today.

The earrings above are of all gold filled metal and super clear 10mm glass rondelles. They are both classic and versatile, suitable for everyday wear and dressing up.

The bracelet above is substantial enough for a man but would look just as great for a woman. It's approx. 8" long making it appropriate for someone with a larger wrist or for someone who just like their bracelets a bit "roomy". Made in the classic Byzantine chain mail weave of 18g bare copper wire that has been lightly oxidized then tumbled.

This last bracelet is a knock out with the large hand wire wrapped clasp that also serves as a focal point... clever, eh? LOL It also is 8" long, great for larger wrists or for someone who just likes their bracelets a bit larger. Made in a variation of the classic Byzantine chain mail weave of 18, 20, and 24g copper wire, the 20g being coated. I think when this bracelet oxidizes (as all copper does eventually) it will make an interesting combination of dark and shiny, or of course ALL the shiny can be kept with just an occasional quick dip in warm lemon juice!

I have an "average" sized wrist but I love how both of these bracelets drape onto the top of my hand. Both are also quite substantial pieces, not "dainty" at all.

All 3 of these listings have been tumbled for hours for super shine and durability and are available for purchase at my Etsy shop.
