SIZE
1/4" x 6". The 6" length is most popular. Also available in 5", 5 1/2", 7" and 8". Use the selection drop down box.
USES
Great for making bracelets, such as cuffs and bangles.
MATERIAL
1100 grade aluminum cut, 14 gauge. Often referred to as "food safe" which is an unofficial way of saying that this metal is a good source for use in jewelry making. It won't tarnish, feels light, and most people have no allergic reactions. As such, it's a bit more difficult to be used in distress or antique designs. However, this material conforms well to texturing with hammers and mills.
FINISHING
This is a completely finished blank that's ready for your artisan work. The edges are de-burred and the corners are slightly rounded so your finished product will have a nice and comfortable fit. We tumble the metal for a smooth finish and nice shine. This also gives it some additional flexibility and hardness. This is a high quality product, making it much less likely to crack and snap when you hammer, stamp or engrave. No holes or markings.
PACKAGING
These will be sent to you as flat strips so you can do whatever you want with them. Any plastic backing is removed during our manufacturing process. We package each blank so that they won't scratch during transit.
CRAFTING TOOLS
A good 'ol hammer will do the trick if you want to simply hand hammer a texture design. The next step up would be a brass hammer for a more professional touch. You can also use a milling machine to add special textures like lace and flowers. Add words and other designs with metal stamps or an engraving machine. The metal is easy to bend into a bracelet but most artisans will use a bracelet bender or round metal pipe to get the exact desired bracelet shape.
