New Ring Listed

Just made my first byzantine ring:

Silver Copper Byzantine Chainmaille Ring - size 11



This ring is made with small 20 gauge rings of silver colored copper in byzantine chainmaille with triple connector rings.

The maille is about 5mm thick square, almost 1/4 inch. The ring is size 11. As chainmaille it is not stiff like a solid metal ring but it should fit fine on the right sized finger.

If there are any questions about size adjustment please convo me before ordering. Size 10 or larger is best for the thickness of the chainmaille for comfortable wearing.


This is not the first ring I've made, but the first one I've made in Byzantine. I plan to make a gold one really soon with brass wire.
