Viper Bracelet
Sterling and titanium: the two best metals in the world (in my
opinion), put together in this
bracelet that looks and moves like a serpent. The silver is
beautifully clear and white, while the titanium adds an earthy grey
tone and the novelty of space-age technology.
It was a bit of a challenge
to pull off, as titanium is considerably harder
than silver.
Because of this, if I wind the two metals on the same size
mandrel, the titanium will tend to expand more (it has more
springback), resulting in a larger diameter ring. To avoid
this,
I had to wind the silver on a 3/16" mandrel, and the titanium on a
5/32" one.
