The (+#) refers to the number of jump rings used to connect each woven unit together. In this case, 3 copper rings are used instead of 2. The third linking ring adds additional weight and density to the bracelet. Other names for this weave are: Etruscan, King’s Braid, Bird Cage, Bird’s Nest, Fool’s Dilemma & Idiot’s Trap. The bracelet is finished with a solid copper Snap Lock clasp.
