Jens Pind Linkage

Jens Pind Linkage (JPL) is a spiral weave that is dependant on the Aspect Ratio of the ring size in order to function. This bracelet is simple yet intricate in the same breath.

clipped from www.chainmaillebymboi.com Sterling Silver bracelet in a delicate Jens Pind Linkage  chainmaille  weave makes a dainty statement that is perfect for every day wear. All of our jewelry begins with raw wire that is hand wrapped around a mandrel then saw cut into tiny rings. These rings are then interwoven together to form some amazing jewelry! This bracelet measures 8” (20cm) end to end and is held securely by a sterling silver lobster clasp. Just leave a note to the seller upon checkout and I will be happy to alter this treasure to fit you.

clipped from www.chainmaillebymboi.com This piece is not for the faint of heart-weighing in at a full 1.5 oz, this piece is a stunner to behold. The Persian Dragonscale bracelet began it's life as a humble mass of sterling silver wire. This wire was carefully hand coiled and saw cut into a shimmery pile of rings that were then interwoven, one at a time, to form a piece of wearable art. This bracelet measures 8 inches (20 cm) long from toggle clasp to bar and over 1/2 inch across. A feature of this bracelet is the height. It is 1/4 inch (1/2cm) thick.

clipped from cymbaline84.blogspot.com With jewelry, I've always liked things to match. If I worked with glass beads, all the colors had to be similar to each other in some form. When I started to like working with copper, all the copper had to be the same shade~ there couldn't be a mixture of bright and antiqued copper. But I've been searching around Internet forums and discovered that mixed metals are are very popular. Here are a few examples of mixed metals I have found on Etsy. I have these in my favorites list and kinda stare at them every day, like a kid who looks longingly in a toy store window. This is a chainmaille bracelet made by MBOI (href="http://www.mboi.etsy.com/">http://www.mboi.etsy.com/) . I love chainmaille, though I don't have any jewelry that has chainmaille in it. It reminds me of knights of Arthurian times, who wore chainmaile with their armor. It is a very epic medium. I love this bracelet because of the contrasts of the brass and the silvery steel.
