Using Colored Jump Rings in Chainmaille Jewelry

Using colored jump rings in your maille creatively and strategically can completely change the look of a weave and is one of Rebeca’s personal favorite tricks.  We’ve made lots of posts about color over the years and have rounded them all up here in honor of June’s “Featured Product of the Month Contest”.  We hope these posts inspire you!  Feel free to share your favorite color resources in the comments below or by posting them to our page on Facebook.
