Voodoo

(2006) 8x1.5" for the bracelet and 10x1.5" for the closed necklace. Sterling silver wire (20, 12), banded brown agate beads, Bali Silver spacers, toggle clasp findings, fireline.

The title of this matching set is derived from the name of the very dense and ornate maille that I used both for the pendant and for the bracelet. I love the thick, heavy feel of the assembled silver rings, and the elegant square swirls of the pattern. 12 gauge silver wire on the edges is keeping the maille straight and prevents any folding or floppiness. I think I will get a lot of mileage especially out of the bracelet this winter.
