I've made a 20 inch copper chain that I love! It is simple and yet as my 16 year old daughter says,"It stands on it's own." I tried adding an etched piece and a few beads but it just wasn't happening, so I now let it stand alone and it works beautifully. Using 14 gauge copper wire I created good size jump rings, next they were soldered, shaped into ovals, flattened, hammered on both sides and attached to hard round jump rings. The ovals measure approximately 3/4" by 3/8". I love the shine and sparkle created from the hammering and the boldness, yet super lightweightness of this piece.
