Crafted from thick 20 gauge wire, the heavier gauge forces an exceptionally tight, high-density construction, packing the rings together to form a solid, substantial metal cord that gives the bracelet a distinct structural weight on the wrist. By introducing varied color combinations into the pattern, the precise pathways of the dense braid are pulled into sharp focus, turning a rigid, high-mass sequence into a striking, multi-dimensional column of color.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Answers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWhy do the colored Viking weaves appear \"distressed\"?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe distressing isn't painted on — it's created by the technique itself. After weaving, the braid is pulled through progressively smaller holes to compress and tighten it, and that drawing scrapes the color coating so the wire beneath shows through.
