Five-lead by six-bight ring, white and yellow.

This is a five-lead by six-bight ring, in white and yellow gold. The loop-density is 2.8 loops/inch, which makes it quite loose. You can see the wires move back and forth with respect to each other if you flex it, and you can almost "play" it like an accordion, changing the width and size. I would be reluctant to make a ring any looser than this, as I don't think it is likely to hold up as well as a tighter one.
