Hi, Lynn,

    Your bracelet looks very pretty, and it is well-photographed. But
    there is a reason people usually don't try to sell their very first
    piece, aside from wanting to keep it as a memento. 

    I'm not sure I'm seeing what is there, as the image is small, but it
    looks as though the links are just bent into loops and left like
    that. If that is so, the bracelet will fall apart as soon as it is
    worn. The wire mist be closed by wrapping or soldering to be sturdy
    enough to sell. 

    Please make sure your work is up to a professional standaed before
    trying to put it on the market, for the sake of your own reputation,
    and that of all jewelry craftspeople. 

Good luck,
Noel
