I suppose it fits more in the wire category than any other. I make my own jumprings, end pins, etc. The beads were all purchased for these projects. In fact, its what got me interested in getting into lapidary, hope to be able to make some of my own someday.

Carnelian and Hematite

I do chainmaille as well and love the different weaves and how old they are. Show us some more, please.... Deb

Thanks! I will have to break out the camera and take some more shots. So far everything I have made is in my wife's jewelry drawer so I don't have to track it down

I've wanted to try chain mail but haven't gotten around to it yet. Very nice work

I've done a little chainmaille and found it very tedious. I greatly respect your abilty to turn out such quality pieces!

Someone asked me if I solder my jump rings...can't even imagine doing that. The smallest rings I have worked with are something like 2.5 mm ID, my poor eyes

I agree with wireholic though. Way to ADD to even attempt such a thing.
