One of the coolest pieces of jewelry I've ever seen was a necklace-type hoop of differentially anodized niobium with a swirl design at the sternum. If I was dating anybody at the time I definitely would have gotten it. It's been at least 5 years since I saw it but it was really hard to forget. I should have just gotten it anyway. I like to grab really cool stuff when I see it and figure out who I'll give it to later <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> It sure makes it easier around the holidays if you already have a stash of really cool stuff.

I've done some electrochemical stuff for research purposes but never just for artistic satisfaction. It sure does make pretty stuff.
