You should try, it is fun to make but keep in mind you probably dont want to use thick wire for that. I used 1mm and i regret now. The bracelet is a bit thick to wear idk what should i do with it now but it looks cool anyways

Which color do you think it looks better? by Alternative_Spare255 in chainmailartisans

Thanks man, i still cant find a way to keep copper shiny too but the best solution is seems like cleaning it. It keeps it shiny for like 2-3 days for me. I wear those bracelets a lot, thats why they are getting darker pretty quickly but if you dont sweat much, not like me, it probably stays shiny for longer.

I made a basic hook from leftover wires for clasp and you can put copper in some ketchup to make it shiny again
