Vera's Bramble Copper Bracelet

There's a kind of steadiness that only comes from something woven, not just shaped — three strands pulled tight until they hold each other up. I braid each of these by hand, working the copper strand over strand the way my grandmother taught me to plait rope, until the pattern locks itself in place and won't come undone.

Copper against the skin is an old habit in these parts, long before anyone needed a reason for it. People wear it, and keep wearing it.

I hope this one finds its way to a wrist that needs a little steadiness today.
