STL: the metal only, ready for a slicer or a casting house. 3DM opens in Rhino and Matrix with metal and stones on their own layers. OBJ and GLB include the stones. All in real size.

The model

What you're downloading

  • Links: 8 mm wide, of 1.85 mm round wire pressed to about three quarters of its depth, the links packed as close as they can still move.
  • Laid out: 20 inches (50.8 cm) as one closed loop lying flat, every link 0.22 mm clear of its neighbours.
  • Clasp: none: the chain is one closed loop. Open one link to add a clasp and jump ring.
  • Files: built in your browser when you click, exactly as you set it. STL, 3DM and OBJ are in millimetres (STL and 3DM Z-up); GLB is in metres, as the format requires.
