There's a first time for everything...

Well, as the post title states, there's a first time for everything. In this case I'm talking about my European 6-in-1 Bracelet, my first time using this weave. This bracelet is made using the 16ga 5/16" stainless steel rings left over from Chuck's 1st coif I made. Originally I was going to finish this off with 2 stainless steel lobster clasps, but decided on only 1 after I tried it out.

Between this and the 2 coifs I've put together for Chuck I've been doing quite a bit with the 16ga stainless steel rings. I've enjoyed the results greatly however I would caution a beginner against as large an undertaking as a coif (or 2 in my case) before using this material in such a large gauge.
