Niobium. is Element number 41 in the periodic table. Hand forged from pure niobium and Blackened using an oxidizing process.
The process for this bracelet is quite involved. I start with Number 4 gauge pure niobium wire. I use 4 different hammers and a rawhide mallet to forge and shape the niobium wire to this smooth and elegant looking bracelet. To get the smooth finish, I use a hammer to remove hammer marks and end up with this smooth clean finish.
I know, it does not seem logical to use a hammer to remove the hammer marks but that is precisely how it works. I also create this same design with a hammered finish. The look is quite different because it catches the light in such a different way. Ask me if you are interested in this hammered finish. Unfortunately I only made one and it sold before I took the time to photograph it.
The color is one of the finest touches that I have developed giving this bracelet its unique and mysterious look and feel.
The natural color of niobium is very similar to platinum. Sort of a silvery gray color. A little darker than silver.
I developed a process that allows me to select from a very broad range of colors. Purely by accident, I discovered this incredibly deep black color. It looks like gun metal gray or the stone known as hematite. The finish is extremely hard and takes a great shine when buffed deeply.
This design which I call The Classic is hand forged to fit comfortably at the base of the wrist. This design is so comfortable and durable that it can be worn 24/7.
Please give me your actual wrist size and I will create your perfect fit. Allow 3 to 4 weeks for your bracelet to be started. To expedite your order for an additional 20%, please contact me.
