I received a custom order from a man who, inspired by cultural anthropology studies and the Vikings, was looking for a more traditional, armor-like piece of jewelry. We settled on the European 4-in-1 weave in very thick 15 gauge rings. The bracelet is 9 rows across which equals 1-1/2 inches wide. To give it an older look, after weaving I oxidized it and then polished it ever so slightly to give it some highlights and depth.
This bracelet turned out so lovely that I have added both variations to my shop. More photos are in the gallery.
