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.

Necklace 2-in-1

One more simple necklace made out of two separate cords.
