#chainmaille bracelet

I made this bracelet for myself and I wear it 24/7. I skate, drum, work, shower, swim, sleep, and everything else in it. I made this silky beauty from super thin 22 gauge Stainless Steel wire. It’s a Euro 4-in-1 pattern that I’ve finished with slightly smaller rings on the edges to crisp up the the look and feel of this ancient pattern. As I am want to do lately I also welded every link closed as a assembled it! The closure on this bracelet is special as well. What I’ve done is diminished the pattern down to a opposite points on both ends and then built in slightly larger rings where the decrease starts on each. This way, the two clasps can reach back to connect to the other end which positions the break in the chain diagonally, and touching, so that it mostly disappears. I think this is SUPER COOL and I can’t believe it took me 20 years to try it, haha!

Woweee! I made this one for my mom. It’s about 1,000 links made from super thin 22 gauge Fine Silver. I made it using Euro 4-in-1 with a smaller link diameter for the rows along each edge. In addition to all that, I welded each link using this pulse arc welder I just got. IT IS SO PRETTY AND COOL!!! Thanks @maryditson for bringing me into this world ❤️

I spent some serious time yesterday dialing in my home lighting and camera settings so that I’ll be able to shoot all the rad new chains I’ve been making!
