(Captive Inverted Roundmaille)

This nifty weave, known as Captive Inverted Round (CIR), looks almost like a double helix. At first glance, it seems like the colors are beads, but they are in fact colored rings suspended in place by the surrounding layer of rings. This weave requires a steady hand!

The aluminum kit is for a necklace—the weave can be made into a bracelet, but it is a bit chunky and not as supple as other weaves. The sterling kit is smaller and works perfectly for a bracelet.

You can customize your piece with anodized aluminum or niobium rings. The sterling bracelet at right uses the spring green and berry color blends.
