I love that one! My wedding ring is inset with sapphires and diamonds, so this one really set a tone with me.

That is my birthstone colors....
Mine, too! September Sapphire. :) It's gorgeous, Jerri!!
Wow! I'm always so impressed with your wirework!
Thanks y'all! I really like this one. I always felt like I got gypped with the birthstone and flower (topaz and chrysanthemum). It's just taken me about 40 years to like the amber and peridot colors!
Don't forget, there's BLUE topaz too!

Thats a very sophisticated looking choice of colors with that design. Beautiful. Makes me wish I liked my sis in law well enough to get it for her Sept birthday. ;-) Diana
That is one beautiful bracelet! A question, what kind/gauge wire do you use for your wrapping, and for your clasp?? Most of the wire I have seen (in my limited experience) has been too soft to do a clasp, it would just bend to easily...

Hi Arleen,
I used 21g square half-hard wire. Maybe what you've seen has been soft wire. The half-hard is pretty hard.
Thanks Jerri! I'll look for some to play with! Arleen

also, you can "work-harden" it or hammer it to harden.

Using a tumbler hardens it too.
