This basic pattern takes chainmaille to a new level. Trap crystals in jump rings and embellish them with halos of tiny sterling silver rings using a new technique developed by the instructor. The result is elegant and sophisticated. Looking at the finished product, it's hard to believe it is suitable for beginners, but this is a perfect project for someone looking to get acquainted with chainmaille. Learn tips and tricks for making your wire loops blend seamlessly with jump rings. (And don't worry, Rebeca's taken care of all the Diameter=π x r2 calculations for you!) |
