Oddly enough, Zach is the one who asked for this. I just finished stocking up my chainmail box so i could start doing some more interesting work using aluminum rings, and using anodized rings for color. Zach asked if I could make him a quick bracelet, so I whipped this one up in about 20 minutes.
Working with aluminum (as opposed to the steel I normally use) is on the one hand refreshing. It's much softer and lighter. On the other hand, it's not particularly strong, so anything that takes tension will deform pretty easily. It's okay for jewelry, but I'm not going to make armor with it.
After finishing this piece, I decided to post a picture of it, and thought "what the hey", and posted pictures of all the other pieces I've done for people. They're now up on Flickr in a full set.
