Back to the Ancients

Jewelrylessons.com has a monthly theme to create an item pertaining to the subject given. For April it was "Cleopatra's Jeweler". I decided it would be fun to participate and came up with this design. Truly ancient, because the coil or spiral has been found in all cultures from earliest recorded time.
The design is old, but when worn it is the latest! There are things that never age. This is one of them! And best of all it is not difficult, just a bit time consuming. So go ahead and try your own!

    I love how you say it's "not difficult"....A sign that you are doing what you should be doing if it comes so easily! :) LOVE THIS!!

    I made a copper bracelet out of this old design years ago and wear it along with all of my colorful beaded bracelets. Invariably this simple wire spiral piece is the one that gets most of the complements!
