Chainmaille Kit - Byzantine Bracelet Kit (unisex 16g 4.5mm ID ss jump ring)

Description

Your bracelet kit will include all materials necessary to weave an 8.5" sterling silver Byzantine chainmaille bracelet (e-mail for additional-length pricing; it will be nominal).

A complementary jump ring tool and my favorite jump ring/bead scoop will be included in your kit. And, if you're thinking it's time to upgrade your pliers, click on my tools section - pleeease, take good care of your hands!!!

Our sterling silver toggle clasp is, well, simply elegant. At 15mm round, and made from square wire, this is my all-time favorite toggle. If you would prefer a sterling silver lobster claw, please LMK in the "note to seller" box. Byz. woven in this gauge/size is appropriate for men and women.

Once your order is received, your rings will be freshly coiled and cut by me, using state-of-the-art power, then tumbled till they're clean, burr-free, strengthened/hardened, and blindingly shiny. These rings are sawcut ultraflush and the ends are mirrorlike. Yes, I find that very cool, being the power-tool freak that I am!

Please feel free to convo with any questions. And, if you're interested in a kit for a different weave, let me know - I'll enjoy creating a custom kit for you.

Note: This kit does not include a tutorial as there's an abundance of freebie Byzantine weave tutorials available online - no need to reinvent this wheel. So, if you're ordering this kit, here are 2 great chainmaille sites with heaps of free tutorials and information:
