I bought some copper wire and used my gizmo to make the coils before snipping them apart to make the jump rings. SO much quicker than the jump ring maker we used in class. I'd also bought some brass wire and started making jump rings with that first, but I didn't check I was using the right mandrel and they turned out too big. I didn't have enough brass wire to start again, so I need to find a weave with 5.5mm ID jump rings!
I've been wearing the copper and silver bracelets together and I love them. I'd have loved a brass one too! I've ordered some wire from ebay, and I also bought a new book - Classic Chain Mail Jewelry. Now I can't wait for my wire to turn up so I can tryout some new weaves!

Nice job!!!!!

These look amazing! Well done!
Ooh, can you do a twisted version with both colours? I imagine that would be quite nice too. Looks like you're having fun with it, which is the most important thing
I remember!!!
Does the copper one make your arm go green?
They look great. Saw how you sneaked in that comment about buying another new craft book! It's number what on the list??
