Byzantine is a lovely weave perfect for beginners, or the chainmailling pro alike.
Included is enough jump rings in your chosen weight to make a bracelet 9 inches in length, along with the clasp of your choosing.
Not sure how to make this weave? I have a video right here! (Or scroll down!)
For your reference, the thickness of each size I offer is:
12 gauge: uses 12g 7.0mm ID rings, makes a chain 11.2mm thick
14 gauge: uses 14g 5.5mm ID rings, makes a chain 8.8mm thick
16 gauge: uses 16g 4.5mm ID rings, makes a chain 7.1mm thick
18 gauge: uses 18g 3.0mm ID rings, makes a chain 5.5mm thick
20 gauge: uses 20g 2.75mm ID rings, makes a chain 4.5mm thick (also makes a great anklet)
If interested in the sterling silver toggle, I recommend the large toggle for gauges 12-16, and the small toggle for 18g & 20g.
Please take a look at the comparison photo for sizing reference when making your choice. Photos of jewelry are to show you what can be made with this kit - this item does not include finished jewelry.
Please note that I usually use sterling silver clasps for bracelets made in brass.

I was happy to get my kit quickly. The rings are high quality. A few have sharp edges, but most are cleanly cut. My sister will love her Byzantine pattern bracelet.

I have purchased several kits as well as sterling and rose gold jump rings from Raine Studio Supplies.
The quality of the product is wonderful and Amy includes several extras rings.
I will continue to purchase all of my product from this site.

I received the sterling silver rings and instructions quickly. The rings are beautiful and the instructions clear and easy to follow.
I would definitely recommend this vendor.

This kit was just as I hoped it would be. It arrived very quickly. The website is easy/fun to navigate. The tutorials are fantastic. I think chainmaille may become my next crafting obsession.
