Enso Chainmaille Bracelet - Your Choice of Metal

I created this piece while roadtripping across the country with my family. The blur of the scenery going by my window with the zen of pliers opening, closing weaving jump rings.

The name "Enso" fits well. Made from the weave japanese 12-in-2, coupled with the zen-like state I was in while the piece was created.

"Ensō is a Japanese word meaning "circle" and a concept strongly associated with Zen. Ensō is one of the most common subjects of Japanese calligraphy even though it is a symbol and not a character. It symbolizes the Absolute, enlightenment, strength, elegance, the Universe, and the void; it can also symbolize the Japanese aesthetic itself. As an "expression of the moment" it is often considered a form of minimalist expressionist art." -- quoted from Wikipedia

Pictures are of this piece in sterling silver. Also available in gold fill, silver fill, copper, or brass.

ABOUT silver fill: Silver fill wire made by bonding a layer of sterling silver (.925) to a brass core. The thickness of this sterling silver layer constitutes 1/10 of the overall weight. This layer is much thicker than a silver plating - making this product last decades, rather than months. This is a fabulous alternative to those who love sterling silver but are cringing at the high price.

ABOUT gold fill: Gold fill is a layer of 14k gold bonded to a brass core. 1/20th of the overall makeup is 14k gold. The layer of gold in gold filled products is much thicker than a gold plating. Gold plate wears off in just a few months, whereas gold filled will last decades.
