In my journey, to the centre of the earth. . . oops wrong site. I saw these bangles and purchased them in early January. They are sized for an adult female, with the diameter of the opening being 67mm for the green one to 70mm for the purple one, with the orange being 68mm.

Made from Silmar 41 resin, easy to turn and easy to finish.

Good job! I haven't made any from just the resin without a metal inner band, but may have to try now. Did the blanks come predrilled or did you have to drill out the centers?

The bangles are from a mold. They are fun to turn, with a 12mm (1/2") skew as a scraper and several changes of orientations and chucks. They are sanded to Abranet 500# and then polished to MM #12000, then Triple E at speed and the Meguiars Plastx.

The finished sizes are still designed around the size system from PSI, around 67mm ( 2 41/64")to 70mm (2 3/4") and thickness varies from 8mm (5/16") to 12mm (15/32").

I purchased the blanks from Citifolk Creations from the US. They are active on Facebook and do not have a separate web page.
