1/8" x 6" aluminum is our most popular bracelet blank size and metal that jewelry artisans use. Its long enough to fit most womens wrist sizes comfortably and the silver design looks attractive but without the high price. Its used for hammering, stamping and engraving. Here are the details: SIZE 1/8" x 6". 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 wont tarnish, feels light, and most people have no allergic reactions. As such, its 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 thats 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 wont scratch during transit.
