Chainmaille Necklace, Super Thin, Welded-Link, Byzantine Pattern

What to know

Materials

Stainless steel

I made this super thin Byzantine Chainmaille necklace from my extremely tiny 24 gauge wire. As far as I can tell this chain is the thinnest handmade Byzantine chain in the world. Plus I weld each link closed so this chain is durable while being super tiny!

The pattern Byzantine was one of the first Chainmaille patterns invented, its origins are not known but it dates back to somewhere near 300 BC which is pretty amazing. Wearing a Byzantine Chainmaille necklace is wearing a piece of history.

I made this necklace from scratch. I started with super thin 24 gauge Stainless Steel wire. I wrapped that wire around a rod, in this case I wrapped it around a piece of 16 gauge wire. Then I cut each link from the coil by hand one at a time. Then I assembled the links using two pairs of pliers and a little modified welder I used to weld each link closed. You'll notice that in these photos the chain is not made with welded links, yours will be, I just haven't had a chance to photograph this one yet.

Thanks!

-Bim
