Gold ribbon bracelet

In 2002, I went to Johannesburg and
I visited an exhibition of African traditional craft.

There I found an old hand-woven basket for beer brewing.
I heard that there are no craftsmen left who make it.

I bought this basket on the last day of the exhibition.

While looking it at home, I felt like making
a gold bracelet similar to this basket.

Fine Gold 9999, Weight 34.8g

Instead of braiding the gold wire,
the wire is lined up and welded together
to form a flat ribbon-like shape.
