Chainmaille Pieces

These are a few of the pieces I have made since I started making Chainmaille Jewelry.



Necklace made with 3 different sizes of aluminum jumprings. The weave is the Euro 6 in 1.









This choker is the Euro 6 in 1 weave. It is made with copper and aluminum rings. I really like the look of this weave and its a fun one to make.













Necklace made with aluminum rings and freshwater pearl drops.







Bracelets!

The Art Of Chain Maille Part 2

This is a list of sites to shop for chain maille supplies. I have only shopped at The Ring Lord so far and recommend it highly! These sites also have a lot of information about weaves and they have galleries to look at for inspiration. I just received my first order from The Ring Lord and I am more then happy with it

The Ring Lord
This is a Canadian Company located just out of Saskatoon Saskatchewan. They have probably every ring in every gauge and size you would want. Payment is in USD. There is a book section and an inspirational gallery as well.

Metal Designz
Is also a Canadian Company also located in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. They have everything you will need in metals and rings, findings and other accessories. Tutorials from best selling author Dylan Whyte are also available. Finished jewelry is available and clothing can be made to order. You must check out the halter or bikini style tops , they are great.

Check these bags out! I will be ordering for sure.
