My first order

I am SOOOoooo excited! I've received my first order to make chain maille choker and earrings. The lady wanted a chunky chain and chose this Turkish round weave. Last night I've ordered loads of sterling silver wire and findings. I can't wait when I can start coiling, sawing and weaving :)

New Dragon weave bracelet

I've made this dragonscale bracelet to replace the one I've sold last Saturday.

Rings used  silver plated 18g 6mm ID and gold plated 20g 3.5mm ID

It is ready

Please welcome a brand new bracelet.

Byzantine and Helm weave together make a brilliant combination. Thank you Rebeca for this wonderful design.

A lot of wire

I had enough buying small packs of wire. 10 packs that I bought not so long ago have already run out. Today I made a coil from the last one.

I decided to get myself a big pack. Yep, 1 kilo to be precise.

Kingsweave bracelet

I made another bracelet. It looks unusual because of doubled rings.

Wire knot

I've discovered by accident this YouTube tutorial and I managed to make it

Chainmaille bracelet - braid

I wanted to make this bracelet for a long time. Now it is finished. The weave used is European 4-in-1

I had to make more than 800 rings. It takes a while but very good for meditation

European 4-in-1 earrings

Here are 2 pairs of earrings.

They are quick and easy to make.

Materials used: silver plated copper wire.

Full Persian choker

 I've mastered new chainmaille weave - Full Persian. How easy it is to work with large rings!

And here we are - my neck and my new choker.

Lace

New bracelet. I've used silver plated copper wire 20 gauge. Rings ID are 2.5mm and 5mm.

This picture is almost real size (whn you click on it)

New saw and new chainmaille bracelet

Thanks to my virtual friend Elvira I now have the jeweller's saw!

Straight away I've coilled some wire and sawed it into many rings for my next gorgeous project.

Some 6mm round Swarovski crystals

And this is the result

Byzantine bracelet

A long-long time ago my granddad gave my nan a chain with very beautiful pattern. I was mesmorized by it since then.  And now, when I started to learn about chainmaille I've found this pattern. It is called Byzantine.

Here is my byzantine chain. I've used 3 colours for the wire - silver, gold and copper.

Daisy chain choker and bracelet

Here is a daisy choker and bracelet

This is japanese 12 in 2 weave. I only had to open and close large rings.

There are a few more chainmaille weaves to learn - byzantine, persian and elfweave. I am sure there are more weaves I haven't discovered yet...

I am so in love with chainmaille!

Dragon's bracelet

I've attached the clasp to the bracelet today and ready to show off. I am loving it!

While I was learning this pattern I've discovered an on-line tutorial that shows how to make this dragonscale pattern almost twise faster then in the book I have.

Chain maille bracelet

Recently I've discovered a new jewellery making technic - chain maille or chainmail. It looks like there is no agreement about the exact spelling. As my first attempt I've created this lovely bracelet.
