So recently had a major need to up my game and do something new with my jewelry. Yep, short attention span here which means trying a variety of methods to add to the current madness. I settled on playing with chain maille techniques. Love the contrast between the squared edges of the round rings!

Midnight Chain Maille Necklace My first adventure with chain maille! I used brass square wire rings for the mesh, then embossed and painted a midnight blue centerpiece.

Hmmmm, don’t you think we need a bracelet to go with the necklace? Sure!

Chain Maille Bracelet using large rings of squared edged brass. Love the effect!
