Weave Ideas: Glass Rings (9.5 mm x 3.5 mm)

Our shiny glass rings are a great way to take your chainmaille to the next level.  Our glass rings are available in more than a dozen colors and can be integrated into a number of common weaves.  Try one of the weaves below or experiment with creating your own.  Take even more inspiration from our artist-designed kits that use glass rings including our most popular kit ever, Glass Caterpillar.

Hint: See a weave you’d like to try below?  Pick up your glass rings and then hop on over to our Ring Picker tool to quickly shop for all the jump rings on your supply list.

These glass rings look great! I love the color assortment you have available. I just ordered some for the first time. Can’t wait to get them and see what I can create. =)

Muahahaha! That’s just what we like to hear, Sarah. We love it when we can almost see the creative gears at work in chainmailler’s brains…. 😀

Those are just gorgeous, all of them! I’ll have to buy some glass rings very soon, because you’ve just given me a great idea. :)
