Mixed Metals

I  find jewelry   that  is made from  a variety

of materials and/or  metals interesting.  I like the contrast of  gold, copper, and brass  against the icy cool of silver.  Each piece of 24 gauge metal was textured by placing against textured brass plates and then  running through a rolling mill.  Each metal piece was then soldered to a shaped ring of square wire, trimmed, and formed in a doming block.  Jump rings were soldered to the sides of each piece and the links joined to form the necklace.  Several of the copper pieces in this necklace have been chemically darkened to a deep, rich brown, while others were polished  to a bright shine.
