So depending on what you are looking let me know so I can see what is out there.

Bronze is a close in color to copper but a little less red. It is an alloy of copper and tin. It will tarnish and turn the color of a bronze sculpture or an old penny. It is a stronger metal than copper. It is very durable and has a nice weight to it. Because Bronze contains copper, it develops a patina quickly and people who have a skin reaction to copper will likely to also react to bronze.

Bright Aluminum

Bright aluminum is light, inexpensive and clean for aluminum. Rub-off is always an issue with any uncoated aluminum. This material can vary in shine as well. Because aluminum is so easy to manipulate, you give up a little in the durability department. Not as durable as other metals (such as Nu Gold, Bronze, Stainless Steel, and Argentium Silver.), but is very light.

Copper

These are solid copper, not plated copper. It is a very soft metal and it starts as the color of a shiny new penny but will darken or turn green over time. Not as durable as other metals (such as Nu Gold, Bronze,Stainless Steel, and Argentium Silver.), but it does have a nice weight.

Gold

These are made with 14 karat, dead soft wire. Gold is by far the most expensive metal to work with, but it is extremely durable, ages well, easy to take care of, does not tend to tarnish.

Niobium

Niobium is a reactive metal. It receives its color due to anodizing with electricity. Batches of Niobium can be slightly different colors, just like dye lots.

Clasps {Barrel-Lobster-Toggle- Multi Strand- S Clasp}

The variety and selection is almost endless. The picture to the left is of the most common. There may be a slight color variation with a clasp as the metal the clasp is made of will most likely not be the same as the base metal of the bracelet. Most of this is either due to cost or the strength and durability of the metal. Some weave look better with a toggle where others may look better with a lobster. Some just have to have a specific type due to the type of weave such as a Multi Strand Clasp.
