Nothing Cold about Cold Connections

Cold Connections This lovely bracelet is made from copper with sterling silver jump rings and clasp.  The method is called Cold Connection as there is no heat used to join any of the pieces.  There are several different techniques incorporated into this piece.  It starts with copper sheet metal which is cut into the desired shape than textured.  The embellishments are attached with rivets.  Once the piece is complete, it is antiqued to give it an antique look.  This is a very attractive piece that always get's a lot of attention.
