Trinity

I just finished this necklace for the 13 year old daughter of a friend. It's made of copper and stainless steel, is 18" long and approximately 3/16" diameter. I call the weave Trinity--it's got three rings per link, and it's intended to support a copper and steel mokume crucifix.

Since it was for a young lady, it's a fairly fine chain. I think it turned out well, even though it was pretty tedious to work on at times.

Here's the chain itself, with a quarter for scale:



Here's a close up shot showing the mixed stainless and copper rings.


Here's the chain on my 12 yo daughter. The length looks appropriate, and should continue to be usable as she grows.
