    This may be a funny question, but is there such a thing as a
    'standard' size for an armband? In other words, you have bracelets
    usually at 7", chains go 16-18-22-24"...I'm sure cuff bracelets have
    some kind of reasonably standard inside measurement(s). Is there such
    a thing for armbands or is that just too uncommon a jewelry style? 

    Also if doing a wraparound armband with moderate detail (carving
    from wax) is it better to make the thing flat and try to gently shape
    it around a curve after casting, or just try to make the thing curved
    from the start?
