Strong lines Arches are inherently strong their shape makes it possible to span wider areas with less supports and less material I want to explore its strength to find curves that can be used to make jewellery with strong lines. Steel cable is an extremely strong material that is used in bridges to span great distances I want to see how I can use this strong line to make jewellery.

Chain of development
this chain has turned into a nightmare the steel cable is way to springy to make it easy to work with but i don't want to anneal it because then the cable will not have the tensile strength that made me choose it in the 1st place. i think i need to take a step back and design an easier chain then come back to this one once i have learnt some more about how to work with the steel cable.
