Aluminium is the metal more abundant in the Earth's crust. It is the third element after oxygen and Silicon. Although aluminum is present in most rocks and minerals, the mineral extracted commercially aluminum is bauxite. Major producers of bauxite are the Australia, Guinea, Jamaica and Brazil, with other countries around the world, contributing to lower amounts, including the United States.
Because aluminum does not merged in nature such as gold and copper, it was unknown as a metal until 1820. Today, aluminum is appreciated for its versatility. It is lightweight, one third of the weight of steel and can be just as strong. The metal is also resistant to corrosion, a good conductor electrical and easily worked by standard methods of forming.
HSU Studio
The people at HSU Studio uses an aircraft grade aluminum to make their jewelry. It is an alloy that contains less than three percent of alloy metals, giving it strength and job properties. They only buy raw materials, such as the high temper sheet, rod or wire. Embossing and shaping they do more more work - hardens the metal. Anodizing gives it an even more difficult finish. Work resulting is brilliantly colored, lightweight and durable.

Anodizing
Aluminum anodizing is an electrochemical process that allows the surface of the metal to be dyed. Prior to anodizing, mill finish aluminum, is cut into manageable size and embossed with the fabric or textured in a certain way.
The first step is to suspend the aluminum in a chemical solution and run an electric current through it. This process produces a layer of oxide which is fairly porous. This is what allows it to be dyed.
Aluminum is then dipped in the dye of different colors to get the desired color. Dyes they use to produce the colors resemble the colour of fabrics. The dye is trapped on the surface by seals in a hot bath, which modifies the structure for most non-porous to seal in the dye.

The result is a beautiful and durable finish. The oxide layer formed on the surface during the anodizing process is harder than aluminium by itself. Aluminium is easy to clean with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for stubborn stains.
