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

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!
