Made of thick brass cable chain, taupe-colored ribbon, antique-y brass rose links, and a variety of charms--brass discs, a brass rose, a torched brass sparrow, and a handmade bottle charm.
Taupe ribbon is woven through brass chain to create a full, romantic look. Small brass charms dangle all over the bracelet. I torched the sparrow charm to give it a pale blue patina, but the rest of the charms are a bright brassy gold color.
For the love letter charm, I dyed paper a dark color by placing it in hot tea. Once dry, I antiqued the paper with brown ink and wrote long, swooping lines in a deep red ink. The paper inside the corked bottle could even be removed so that you could add your own special note.
Bracelet measures 7 and 1/4 inches long, and closes with a lobster claw clasp.
