I'm 68 years old and I would love to wear it. You women are amazing jewelry makers. The fact that you take these pieces of junk you find on the shoreline and turn them into beautiful jewelry full of love and history. I can tell how much you love making them. I also love watching you do it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@doreenbailey6130]

I too am 68 and would proudly wear this 😀

[@itzfanaticplays260]

😊 I'm 48 in October and I too love watching all the finds and what you make your finds into, Thank you for taking the time to share with us all. 😊❤😊

I'm 74 and I would love it . I have silver bracelets I never take off and the real copper one would go beautifully. Plus the health aspects of copper . Yes love it!!

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

What a beautiful bracelet!! I just love it and I am 71 and I would wear it 🌹

[@mrbarbelbarbello2332]

These videos are like being back at school but watching something one is interested in. Copper has it's own allure.

[@elizabethhardin4835]

I've increased my appreciation of handmade things. Wonderful

[@debbierossi1320]

I could watch you make jewelry all day every day……. It’s kinda magical and definitely mesmerizing!

[@chericandream]

Such a fantastic KZbin presence, thank you for much enjoyment. Artisan ❤️.

[@skullingtonfly]

Every second of this video was a wonder for this 65 year old from Australia 🇦🇺🥰

[@denisew3917]

Special one of a kind bracelet. Gail your crafting is so amazing to watch.

[@amandapittar9398]

That bracelet is quite inspired. It’s beautiful. Gail, you are a truely talented maker and jeweller. I love watching you work. It’s so peaceful and meditative. Thank you for sharing the process. It always inspires me to get back into my workroom! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊

[@charlesperez9976]

Gail. You are nothing short of incredible. What a lovely creation! Copper is my only language,metal-wise,and you speak it perfectly!!!❤️

[@carolekinsey7835]

What a talented lady you are Gail. Your metal workings on jewelry is so interesting to watch. This copper nail bracelet turned out so well. It looked great and so unusually different and unique. I really enjoy watching you and Alex create. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. X 👏

[@tonywild1963]

That's an amazing bracelet Gail and you must have lots of patients with all those rings. It's also interesting to see what some of those tools we see are used for. Thank you and bless you Alex see you again soon

[@kerrindrawdy2017]

It occurs to me the sheer dedication to crafting Mrs. Gail must have to patiently and persistently work the metals so carefully and thoroughly. I know next-to-nothing of jewelers or jewelry-making, but I imagine in this day and age most of the "mechanics" are processed and/or automated wherever possible. I'm curious to know the length of time it took to complete this project. And I wouldn't mind seeing how the metals were polished to completion. Truly a beautifully unique and creative piece of jewelry! Kudos, Mrs. Gail and Ms. Alex, for your artistic contributions! ❤️

[@marinaj3633]

Don’t know how I missed this post. This bracelet is gorgeous and unique in both materials and construction. Love it 💕💐

[@skeltonjuanita6515]

Gail that is so beautiful…stunning workmanship… you both have such an amazing artisan heart individually and together. That bracelet screams out that it was made just to commemorate life at sea…wow!

[@AvalonDreamz]

With the insanity going on in our world today, I have to tell you ladies I appreciate you more than you know for your videos. You are an escape from that for so many and you make some amazing things from your finds. I work with stained glass so I see the beach glass and things you find that are really awesome, ends up giving me ideas for creating different pieces myself. Incorporating some of the different "similar" finds. Thank you for the inspiration. You have my Sub! Bless you both.

[@marieellard2973]

You did an incredible job on that bracelet Gail! Love the copper!

[@richardserridge2767]

If I had to draw a piece of jewellery that said "northern mudlarks" it would be that! Amazing work Gail and fantastic videography as ever!

[@cynthia2233]

What a lovely bracelet! You’ve captivated me with your “creating” videos! You a truly a wonderful craftswoman!

I’m going thru a rough patch right now and would love to have it! I love all of your videos, you two have a special relationship, something I never had with my mom. Keep up the great work and know I’ll be watching!!

[@jamesrawson6659]

Hello Gail & Alex. Gail I watched you make the leaf from a piece of old copper pipe. Then I also watched Alex mould a silver figure. Is there anything you two cannot do because you both put your whole being to achieve what you do do. I can’t get enough of your vids. All channels what a coup,e of amazing people. I was mesmerised watching you make the leaf now I’m the same watching you make this. I said this once before to you. Long May you both continue . Thank you for sharing this.

[@wildlifeathome]

Seeing how you create the things you do is very inspiring, my skill level isn't even close though. Your imagination and abilities are simply amazing. If it wasn't for your channels and other mudlarking/craft channels, I wouldn't have started my own nature channel to spread smiles around as a repayment of the smiles I've had watching others. Thank you.😊❤

[@karenlfisher389]

Dear Gail, this is such a beautiful bracelet! I would love to wear it and bear in mind the history I wear with it.

Thanks you for sharing the process on this channel. ❤️ xoxo from Germany Stephanie

I have to say, that you are very talented Gail! Your jewelry always comes out so nice. It's noticeable that patience as well as being gentle is required to obtain such great work! You are patient when you mudlark just the same! I assume that is why you both find such dainty and beautiful small finds.

Love it! I'm so happy you "listened" to the nail and made a beautiful bracelet. Oh, and "God bless you Alex" for your sneeze :) I like that you could hook the chain higher up for a smaller wrist. Are you considering making a how-to inspirational book with your creative jewelry makings? Love your videos!

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya ladies, I've not long found your channels, and I love them. I'm disabled and on crutches, so no mud-larking for me. But I am trying to learn to be a goldsmith, i.e., make jewellery. I made some gem earrings for friends for Christmas, and now I'm on chain mail bracelets. I have a similar coiling set-up but use a battery drill with knitting needles for different sizes. Then I use the second part of the kit to cut them using my Fordham flex shaft. From a working life of using tools, I was an electrician before becoming disabled, and players with grip teeth are a pain to clean up after with the marks they leave in silver; beaders/jeweller plyers with smooth jaws are so much better. Copper solder is also better for leaving less cleanup. Happy New Year, and stay safe, Steve...

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

Gorgeous piece, Gail & Alex. Thank you
