The making of a copper chain

After a long break from making jewellery, I am back – to start with I made copper links into a simple chain.

Simple yes, but the history of this particular type of chain dates back to before the ancient Romans. It is an Etruskan chain, examples of which you might view in the British Museum if you were so inclined.

Onwards and upwards …… someone joked the chain looked like one of Theresa May’s.
