Etsy Chainmaillers Guild Featured Items of the Week

I had an item listed on the Etsy Chainmaillers Guild blog as one of the featured items for this week! This is the 2nd time my work has appeared in the featured items on the blog! It is my Byzantine 'Ladder' bracelet made using approx 700 brass rings, all hand-coiled and saw cut. So far this has been my favorite project yet and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Complete at last!

Well, I've finally completed my latest creation (as well as several others). This bracelet is made from brass using a variation on the Byzantine weave that ends up looking somewhat like a ladder. It was quite an endeaver to make as there are just shy of 700 rings that had to be coiled, cut, and assembled to complete this bracelet. It is available for purchase in my Etsy shop here and as always it's avalable in other metals as well, custom orders are my friend!

Thrift Store Fixer-Upper

As I mentioned several weeks ago in my "Dragonscale problems..." post I re-purposed a neat necklace my wife found at the one of the many local thrift stores we frequent. I added all of the green beads and two links of brass byzantine as connectors along the original chain. Eventually I'll get this into my Etsy shop, but I've been very busy with buying a house and work so I've been left with very little time or energy to work on my chainmaille.

Update

About 2 weeks ago I posted about a set of earrings currently for sale on my Etsy shop. Well now I also have a matching bracelet available and wanted to share a picture with you all. Just like the earrings these are made with the same pattern of copper and brass rings using the European 4-in-1 chainmaille weave. The clasp for this bracelet is handmade from 18ga copper wire. I hope you all enjoy.
