Gallery – Chain Maille
Here’s my gallery of chain maille work. I know, some of it isn’t beaded, but I’m working on some! In the meanwhile, here are some goodies to look at.
I had a lot of fun creating this! I think it’s my own weave, and I definitely know it’s my own pattern!
You have to be careful with how you make chain maille earrings; the rings can end up really heavy when you make them long. So I decided to provide the extra length with a Swarovski bead.
This is a bracelet made with a pattern called flower chain. It’s pretty and you can do a whole lot with it!
I call this one “How Sharper Than a Serpent’s Tooth”, because of the coiled snake-y look.

am dying to learn how to make a byzantine bracelet. Is it as hard as it seems it would be?
Hi Donna,
This is actually extremely easy, and is often listed as a beginner chain. It only looks complicated when you are seeing the finished work.
in fact, The most difficult thing is making sure you have the proper size of jump rings.
You can check on YouTube — there are several videos on how to make this chain. Then I would suggest practicing with copper jump rings until you are confident in your technique.
Happy maille-ing!
