Hugs and Kisses bracelet

Both the catch and the links of this bracelet have a "hugs and kisses" theme, symbolized by Xs and Os. The shapes of the links have both, and the decoration on the hook catch expands the theme, with fused silver "kisses" and gold and sapphire "hugs".

I made the chain and catch of hardened Argentium sterling silver- a tarnish-resistant and sturdy silver alloy. The gold embellishments are 18k royal yellow gold- a particularly buttery-colored alloy- and the cabochon sapphire is a natural cab with lovely color.

The decoration on the catch overlays a secure long hook. This does mean that the bracelet, when worn, has a tendency to roll on the wrist.

The links are a modern variation on the ancient technique of loop-in-loop chainmaking, each individually handmade.

The bracelet is 7.375 inches (18.75cm) long, with the catch decoration 0.875 inch (2.3cm), and a 0.25 inch (6mm) sapphire cabochon.
