Oops Chainmaille Finger Ring in Rainbow Anodized Niobium

Took me long enough to finally finish this ring!!


Do you remember the coil of pure niobium from last post?  Right, that's what went into this finger ring :-)


6 rows high, 22 columns around, several anodizing dips from 15 volt to 107, zipped up end to end, and voila!


Niobium gives out brilliant colors without etching, is hypoallergenic, super friendly for the majority of the skin sensitivity.  I specially like using it in chainmaille for its relatively harder temper and nice medium weight.

Did I mention I like colors? (hee hee...)


This baby belongs to my dear friend Joy M.  Think I'll be making more of these, because it's so ..... 
what's the word?

Addictive!  LOL!
