Upcycling a Ring Out of a Bracelet

This is a very fun metal spiral ring that came out of a slight
misfortune. I found that one of the silver bracelets I used to use for
belly dancing had snapped where the soldering used to be, and this gave
me an idea. I pictured right away a spiral ring, like the ones you
usually see in those snake like Egyptian theme jewelry items.
So I spiraled it around, added some beads, and there you go! I purposely left the beads loose, as to give me something to play with (I like to fidget with stuff). I also like the fact that it can always look slightly different and that it is in constant motion. The metal wire is malleable enough to make the spiral ring adjustable and comfortable, yet stiff enough that it holds its shape.
So there you go, what do you think? Is is something worth having, selling, doing? I'm selling them only for $5 but don't know if the price is right. What do you think? Please write me and give me some feedback. It would be greatly appreciated.
