This kit will include all materials necessary to weave up to an 8" sterling silver 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!!!

Okay, back to the kit... Our sterling silver toggle clasp is, well, simply elegant. At 13mm round, and made from square wire, this is my all-time favorite toggle, and it complements perfectly a Byzantine chain woven with this gauge and size jump ring.

Once your order is received, your rings will be freshly coiled and precision sawcut 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:
