Description

This piece is made using lengths of 16g 5/16" bright aluminum saw cut rings in a 6/1 full Persian weave pattern connected together with 12g 1/2" rings and ending in nickel planted 1.5" rings on each side. Piece is held in place with a half Persian 3/1 chain that goes under the opposite armpit, in the middle of the chain is a 1" ring clasp.



Length option is for the chest chain, measure from approximately where you want the large ring to sit across your chest to the middle of the opposite armpit and double it to determine what to order. If unsure order you can err on the high side, the excess can can be removed with pliers.

FAQ:



What are these rings made out of: 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.



Durability: 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. The ring used also can't be bent by hand individually, using tools or deliberately pulling the chain will cause rings to bend. Deformed rings can be fixed with pliers.



Cleaning: Cleaning should be handled with water and non acidic soap.



Edges: These rings are saw cut so they have a straight edge instead of the crimped ends with burrs you see with machine cut. They are also hand closed with hand tools so each ring is visibly checked for large gaps and visible edges during construction.



Repair: 10 rings will come with this piece in case of future breakage, the clasp can be replaced with a clasp from any craft store. Pliers can be used to replace any rings. Skuffs in the color can be covered up with a permanent marker or nail polish.



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.
