This weeks, 8 Weeks Til Christmas Gift List feature is my Hand Forged Mixed Metal Bracelet. This piece was hand forged from aluminum, and copper then put together using the cold connection technique.

I first cut my aluminum blank, then formed and textured the blank with my texturing hammer. Next I cut, formed and textured my heart.

I used some hole punch pliers to add the holes, then made my own rivets to attach the heart to the blank from aluminum wire, after I dipped it in the liver of sulfur.

The chain and clasp was made from copper wire. I make and cut my own jump rings for my chains.

Before I attach my chain I dip it in liver of sulfur to oxidize the copper so that it will have a beautiful earthy tone once polished.

Next I run the hand forged mixed metal bracelet through the tumbler to work harden and polish the metal to a beautiful shine.

    What a great idea! Give folks a gift idea every week! It’s perfect for those that have a lot of gifts to buy and never enough time! This bracelet is especially nice. Love the oxidized copper!

    Linda this is really beautiful. I could definitely see wearing this. It is simple and yet very striking. I don’t like too much bling so this is perfect.

      Thanks Mary! I’m not much into bling myself, and what’s funny is I love making jewelry, but I don’t wear it much. We aren’t allowed to wear it to work, and we don’t really go out anywhere to wear it.
