FAQ:
Q: Why are the "Petite" scales more expensive than "Small"?
A: Stainless is a harder temper metal. In order to get these exceptionally small pieces punched out to exactly match the bigger ones, multiple dies have to be created (and RE-created) as they wear out and detailing is lost.

Q: What ring sizes do I need to weave "Linear" stacked scales?
A: Petite works with 20awg 5/32". Small works with 18swg 7/32". Large works with 16swg 11/32".

Q: What ring sizes do I need to weave a sheet of scalemaille?
A: Petite works perfectly using 20awg 17/128" or loosely with 20awg 5/32". Small works with 18swg 3/16". Large works with 16swg 5/16".

Q: Where do you get the rings?
A: I recommend Joshua Diliberto's stainless steel rings for the highest quality and most accurate sizing: https://www.joshuadiliberto.com/JD_newWebPages/SUPPLYSTAINLESSSTEELRINGS.php

* The plating is copper and zinc alloy plating with a clear coating of lacquer to the surface.
