Why plated silver I hear you ask. Well these rings are made for me by a friend, she coils copper wire and hand cuts the rings, she then sends them off to be plated in fine silver (0.999% silver). I know the source, I trust the quality. They aren't cheap massed produced rings that are going to lose their plating in a hurry. It allows people who may not have been able to buy a sterling silver piece to enjoy chain maille jewellery as well.
This weave is called the Double Cross Chain and I think it makes a lovely, light and fun looking bracelet to wear. Although woven in 16 gauge rings (1.29mm) it is still really light to wear.
This weave is going to become a favourite of mine. The Half Persian 4 in 1. A bit tricky to start the piece but it looks fabulous. This one is also woven in 16 gauge rings, but I have in the planning to do a much finer gauge in smaller ring in Sterling Silver...keep an eye out for that!
