This bracelet was woven in the European 4-in-1 pattern, which is the weave most commonly used in medieval European chainmail armor. It's called 4-in-1 because each individual ring passes through 4 others.
The rings are formed from 20 gauge copper wire, with an inner diameter of 5mm. This size gives the weave a nice, lacy appearance.
I used a copper toggle clasp instead of a hook & eye for added security.
The bracelet is 7.25 inches long. I can make some small adjustments to this length, just let me know what you require. The weight is 0.3 oz.
There are matching earrings (or if you prefer, I can turn the earrings into extra length for the bracelet):
I made diamond-shaped patches of the European 4-in-1 and then turned them sideways so that they fall loosely from the copper French hooks. (I didn't like the way the diamonds flopped awkwardly when I hung them from the other point.) The diamonds are about 1 3/8 inches long. The earrings are fairly light, about 0.1 oz.
Price: $16 (shipping is free)
SOLD
You can ship the bracelet as is. Sorry you had to email me twice. Thank You I check your website before my emails!!!!! Kim

I'm glad you like it! I do have plans for more chain maille, but it will probably be awhile before I get anything done.
