the golden compass?

Hi Res Photo Link
handmade chain in copper for my youngest boy - 7 years old today
a few links stretched already were intended to 'give' which is just as well

Well he'll be proud of that-happy birthday to him. Don' keep telling him off for not washing his neck though :-). Dennis.

Lovely! I have total admiration for anyone with the patience required to make chains

Thanks both - of course I used Renaissance Wax, Dennis. At first I was disappointed that it discoloured the copper, but then it turns out to complement the compass (a later addition!) pretty well. Of course I didn't make the compass... maybe next time.
