Fold-Form Leaf Link Bracelet

Sterling silver fold-form leaf link bracelet

A sterling silver link bracelet I made a few weeks ago with 18 leaves created in fold-form fashion similar to the fold-form pendant and earrings I made a while back (though I changed the leaf pattern slightly so they would not have pointed tips to prick the wrist).

The leaves were made out of both 24 and 26 gauge sheet, with O-Ring bales made from 18 gauge round wire and wrapped with a few wraps of 26 gauge wire at the join to match with the fold-form leaf earrings and pendant.

After the leaves were oxidized and buffed, the patina stays in the indentions created by the forming with a cross-peen hammer, helping to give them a more realistic appearance.

The bracelet chain was made out of 16 gauge round wire with 1/8″ I.D. O-Rings, and overall the bracelet turned out well and is very light to wear.

Kathy mentioned that when the leaves jingle against each other, they actually sound a little like leaves in the wind. 😉
