Made from 20 gauge (0.81 mm) brass composed of 70% copper and 30% zinc, each blank starts as seamless extruded tubing that is cut to width, edge-cleaned on a belt sander, annealed, and given a basic tumbled finish. The result is a malleable, workable blank that is ready for forming, hammering, and finishing without the prep work of starting from flat sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis BT-1 form measures 2-1\/4\" in diameter and 5\/8\" wide, making it well suited for larger wrist sizes. It pairs with the full range of Fretz cuff blanks, which are available in 2\" and 2-1\/4\" diameters and in 5\/8\", 7\/8\", and 1-1\/2\" widths, giving you the flexibility to fit any wrist size or bracelet style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKeep in mind: when creating convex (domed) forms, the doming process will reduce the finished diameter of the piece.
