Japanese Flower

by Rebeca Mojica

 

Use tiny rings to link larger rings into a flower pattern. Customize your piece by using colored rings. You'll have leftover rings to use in earrings or other pieces. Note that this weave is simple, but using the tiny rings (especially the niobium/sterling combination) is challenging and requires a steady hand!

This pattern also looks great as a pair of earrings or you can link flowers together to create a bracelet. the design is easily scaled up or down to create various flower sizes.

Prerequisite: Proficiency in at least 3 chainmaille weaves.

Example shown uses sterling silver jump rings with anodized niobium spring green and mermaid; you can achieve a similar look by using bright aluminum rings with lime and blue (or turquoise) anodized aluminum rings.
