I just had to send a copy of the bracelet I made recently. It's not rocks but it is hand made one jump ring at a time. I just love this chain maille. Some I have made do have some stones attached but not this one. It is copper with aluminum. Feels so good on and looks really nice. Picture is a little fuzzy but I think you will get the feel.  Chris and I have a show on Sunday, March 20 so this will be one of the items for sale there. Wish us luck and thanks for looking. Tanya |

Thanks Toad, I tried making jump rings but it is so much easier to buy them. Takes a long time to make and cutting them leaves little bits and pieces which are already cleaned up when I buy them. Putting them together is the challenge. I are really enjoying making this jewelry. I make one bead item or drill a pendant then do some chain maille. It's very complementary and I love a challenge.

Thanks All,
Gary I do have a lot of patients, I so this in the evening in front of the TV. My husband watches and I bead or do chain maille.
Adrian, I don't have nearly the talent that Chris has. He amazes me, but thanks for that vote of confidence. We both love to create.

I love the look of this maile -- elegant but simple.
What size jump rings did you use? How long did this take you?
