Chainmaille Set

 Well, here are the finished pieces. I felt a little insecure with the process but as I became further and further along it got to be exciting.

I have only done a few pieces of Byzantine chain maille and I do love the pattern. My son, Jan, gave me a book for mother's day and I've been experimenting more with chains. I've always been good in math and I like inventing patterns so I guess it all fits.

The weight of each piece is pretty hefty because each part of the flowers are doubled up, using two rings for each part. I tried to keep it looking delicate and feminine using crystal beads for a little sparkle.

The time it takes is quite long. I suppose if I did more I would get faster at it. I also would like to use Argentium rather than sterling so maybe I will plan another project. Thanks for looking!!
