Description

27 butted 16 gauge 5/16" bright aluminum & dark blue anodized aluminum saw cut rings per inch are used to create this 2.25" wide chainmail tie. Weight is approx. 2 ounces, little bit heavier than a normal cloth tie but has the same movement characteristics, clasp is a nickel free lobster clasp. Length is total length from top to bottom and collar length is from end to end.



The aluminum alloy used is 95% aluminum and 5% magnesium, this creates a ring that is approx. 2/3rds the strength of steel but 1/3rd the weight. The finish is corrosion resistant and can stand up to most damage without flaking, cutting or grinding on the ring with another hard metal surface (grooved pliers, scissors, etc...) and acids like chlorine will cause damage. Combined this means you have rings that are light, strong and resistant to most forms of common wear and tear. Cleaning should be handled with water and non acidic soap.

Since this is a handcrafted item there can be some small tool marks (skuffs) on the piece, please remember this when purchasing. Any ring with obvious damage is not used.
