http://www.beadaholique.com/?CAWELAID=975382778 - Beadaholique's Andrea shows us how to make a flower ring and bracelet using Japanese 12-in-2 chain maille. Definitely one of the prettier chain maille weaves, Japanese 12-in-2 is fairly easy to learn and extremely versatile.

  • Hi, I'd love to make this using coloured rings in place of the copper ones, but I can't find anywhere in the UK that has purple rings in the exact same size - I can find 4mm 20 guage and 5mm 19 guage ones on your Amazon UK store, but not 4mm 18 guage anywhere. What size combinations of the purple and silver (which I expect will be easy enough to find in any size) do you think would work well?

  • Great video, ur cameras in the right plc no long nails to cover up ur work, great job, thank u...

  • @merbearlorelei You can use a product called Tool Magic. You coat the jaws of the pliers with it so the pliers are less likely to scratch your rings. If you want to work with solid metal rings, there are a number of companies that sell them. Check out Blue Buddha Boutique. They sell rings in aluminum, copper, stainless steel, silver among other metals. They even sell rings similar to Artistic Wire. Check them out. There are also a lot of other ring sellers. Google chain mail. Good luck.

  • @Beadaholique You may want to try working with solid rings, but no other brand (that I know of) comes in those nice, pre-measured and made for chainmaille packages. I would suggest finding the solid (not plated) versions of whatever rings are the closest in size to the Artistic Wire kind that you are working with. Good luck, and let me know how things turn out!

  • @merbearlorelei Hello and thank you for your kind words! I'm so sorry to hear that about your rings! I have found that when you are starting out, before you have a feel for chainmaille, that is often the case. Believe me-- I marred quite a few rings until I got just the right touch, so I feel your pain! Unfortunately, I think the flaking is a possibility with many plated rings.
