P.O.T.M. What is your favorite material to work with?

[OShiADragon]

I have limited exposure to many types of rings. So far I'm enjoying BA and AA. The material is light enough for my hand strength so I can work more than a few minutes at a time. It's affordable so I can stock up on all the amazing colours which allows me to let my inner geek try and come up with ideas. I enjoy the tarnish resistance, the variation in colour and the availability. It also seems there is non stop innovation on new colouration like TLR's dark rose and the amazing teal someone is producing.

I love to anodize niobium, but since it's so expensive, anodizing titanium has really grown on me. I also absolutely love the kind of frosted look it has. I especially like mixing it with something shiny, like stainless steel or even just bright aluminum.

Looks like aluminum was the winner. Thanks for participating, this poll & thread are now closed.

I like aluminum because it's relatively inexpensive and light. I want to get into some more stainless steel, and hoping that my pliers can handle that.

I very much like stainless steel(my everyday bracelet is made of it), but aluminum is also nice, colorful and affordable.
