The pieces were obviously for bracelets. They sat out on a table near my work bench and I would finger them often and wonder what I would do with them. I looked for these pieces in catalogs and didn't find anything like them. I also searched on line and found vintage bracelets made with pieces like this.
Last week, after completing work and cleaning up my work area, I got them out and moved them to center court on the workbench after I had thrown them in the tumbler for a couple of hours. I moved pieces of tin nearby to test color combos and let that percolate for a couple of days. Finally, yesterday, I was ready to put the pieces together. This is what the pieces of copper became, with a little help from some vintage tins, brass circle, brass rivets and steel jump rings and toggle.
