Kumihimo Style 'Friendship' Bracelet in Sterling Silver Wire
This bracelet is hand-woven, one strand at a time, similar to the way a Kumihimo bracelet is made. The difference is that this one is hard Sterling Silver wire, instead of string! As of now, it's One-of-a-Kind (OOAK), but I love the way it came out, so I'm sure I will be making more. :) It's aprox 7-1/2" around, and 1/8" wide, and is made from 7 strands of 22 gauge SS wire.

Projects range in difficulty from easy to advanced, and many can be completed without soldering.
