How did you make those????
I just won a turquoise and silver ring on ebay, it's going to be a doll bracelet, probably for Prima or Mary.

Cheap aluminum bangles cut with a jeweler's saw, coiled on a dowel and the coil cut into rings. Twist the rings to close them and test with your fingers to make sure there's no scratchy bits. Wallah, you got bangles.
These are painted aluminum, so you not only lose about 1cm or so on each end of the coil, the texture will make it bend in an L instead of a curve if you rush it, spoiling a ring, or else you can also crack the paint if you rush too fast. What you see on her arms is the good bits from three human sized bangles.

I would definitely end up bloody if I attempted that.
