Thanks! We don't do a lot of chain maille videos these days because our studio space makes getting the right camera angles tricky, but I'm glad this one gave you just what you needed.

Gotta say you are so right about the first ring between the two in the center being that hardest! Took me a few tries. But once ya get going it gets alot easier. You guys at Beadaholique always make the best tutorial videos.

I've watched several videos on making the bezentine chain maille. this was the first that made perfect sense!!! thank you

A few things... Really Good tutorial. I have a friend who got me into chainmaille in general, and he learned byzantine before me, but you did this really well. The rings I used (more on rings below) were 18 guage aluminum solder wire, which works quite well for maille. The inside diameter was 3/16". For those of us who have no money (such as myself), you can make your own rings (like I did). All you need is the right jig, a metal rod, a power drill, and wire. I made my own jig, and have been collecting wire from multiple sources. I just paid 13 dollars for a quarter mile of steel wire, with which I am working on a vest. For just a few bracelets, buying in bags like so is alright, but making your own rings is a TON cheaper in the long run. As long as you have access to wire, then you always have a steady supply of rings.

hi!! your tutorial has been the easiest to follow for me by far..thanks

it's amazing how you are creating something so pretty out of simple little rings! thank you for sharing

Omg. You just helped me soooo much because I have to do this to get the Job that I want. I'm a beginner and I just found your channel. omg I love KZread. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

you are amazing! I have watched many videos trying to learn this technique. You have made it so much easier for me to get it. thanks so much

thank you for the tutorial, this will be the 4th or 5th one i've watched cause all the others left me with a mess of rings to untangle. Your video made things simple and easy to understand, now i'm well on my way to picking up my uncles unfinished works as well as having a beautiful necklace to gift to a friend of mine for christmas. Thanks again!

thankyou for the video,ive tried doing this from a book and only got as far as the three sets of two,after watching this vid it has become really easy only i make my own jump rings

Hello, I've started to use chain maille weaving as a way of exercising my right hand and fingers to improve dexterity after stroke left my right side useless. It is slow going but I've managed to complete your weave and it looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing your expertise and producing an excellent tutorial.

This is a wonderful tutorial! The first one I found was so confusing and now it seems like she didn't know what she was talking about! Thank you for taking the time to make this video! :)

So glad I found this. Was about to go crazy trying to figure out how to do this for my class. Thank you!

I learned this from a book on wire jewellery I recently got and managed to make chainmaille but it looked completely different. This video made the understand what I did 'wrong'. Instead of doing the folding down and latching onto the rings just once, I did that twice and then adding the two new rings, if that makes sense. It also creates a beautiful chain, it just looks much different :)

Beautiful. Thank you for making this easy as pie.

I have always enjoyed doing this chain maille weave ...it took me quite some time to understand it ....thank you so much for the refresher, this is a great tutorial ..... I enjoyed how you picked up the one open and two closed jump rings at the same time ..your method saves time when doing this weave ....Thanks again for this tutorial and i hope you will be doing a few more chain maille techniques in the future.

wonderful, thank you for explaining how to do this.

Thank you so much for breaking this down!! I actually feel like I can do it! Thank you!

Fantastic tutorial, very well explained. very beautiful design and very infuriating to achieve to start with

I just recently had the privilege to watch a sample of your KZread videos and I have completely enjoyed all of them! Especially this Byzantine Chain Maille! You make this technique easy to understand and enjoyable! I look forward to seeing more tutorials from you in the future! Thank you and I can't wait to give this a try! Best regards, Teresa Dalton

The size of the rings are 18 Ga/ID 3.57mm. You can get the supplies featured in our videos on Beadaholique . com's website. The links for the supplies in this video are located in the video description underneath this vide

I had found a much better tutorial on this kind of chain maille weave. I love beadaholique's tutorials and all, but just to let u know, I am 12 and I can do this thanks to the crochet crowd version.

This is one of the best chainmaille tutorials I've seen. I can see everything you're doing and the weave looks surprisingly simple to do! I hope you'll do one on full persian; my favorite. I have several pieces of jewelry planned for that weave but in most of the videos I've been able to find the rings look all cluttered and I can't tell one from another. You got the camera angles perfect in this one so I hope you can do the same in a full persian tutorial.

It's actually quite pretty with the two colours :)

This is a fantastic tutorial!! Thanks so much :)

This is the best tutorial for a dummy like me. Thank you for introducing me to the Byzantine so I can make my own bracelet.

Yes, that is exactly what you are doing.

Hi, The project shown in this video uses Artistic Wire jump rings. They are Gold Color Non Tarnish Brass - 18 Ga/ID 3.57mm/110pc (SKU: FMC-1353) and Silver Plated - 18 Ga/ID 3.57mm/70pc (SKU:FMC-1354). You can get them on Beadaholique . com's website.

wow very good job

brilliant ty for the informative video

Precioso gracias

gracias muy bueno.

My pliers of choice for chain maille are called Wubbers. They have a bunch of different styles and sizes. I really like them because they are very strong and comfortable to use. That said, the pliers used in the video are Xuron Chain Nose Pliers, however, after doing more chain maille I have come to prefer Wubbers for it (but the Xuron pliers are still my favorite for all other uses).

Yes, you only link them into the inverted-v rings. it holds them up in the v-shape and holds the outer rings apart by being in-between.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I get to the weave part, I hold onto the bottom two and put on of the top rings on either side of the middle two. I part the middle rings (3 and 4) and with a new ring, I try to pick up up the top rings (5 and 6). But while your middle rings stay there and point upwards in a "v" sort of shape, mine just hang down to the bottom of the piece. If I accidentally drop it or something, it ends up looking like 2-in-2 chain with an extra jump ring on the end. I'm using 8mm jump rings, 18 gauge. Is it that my links are too big, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi! The aspect ratio formula is Inner Diameter divided by Wire Diameter. If you did the math and get the same aspect ratio, then yes, it should work fine and just give you a bigger bracelet. As for your other rings, half persian 4-1 should work as will full persian.

Thank you :)

I would suggest half hard wire, dead soft will just pull out of shape too easily and hard would be ideal but it will be very difficult to work with.

Hi! Because of the round shape of the Byzantine weave, my guess is that this particular weave was not used my in armor (however, if there are any chain maille experts out there, I would love to hear your opinion). Chain Maille in general was definitely used to make armor.

Yes, I.D. refers to inner diameter but I have not seen a reference to D.I in chain maille before. I am sorry but I do not know what they are referring to. If you see AR that refers to Aspect Ratio. To make a larger chunkier version, you will want to keep the same aspect ratio just with bigger rings. We don't carry a bigger chain maille ring for this project, so when looking for rings, just keep in mind the 3.57 aspect ratio.

Nice

fantastic tutorial, and an excellent accidental asmr video.

I want to make a chain using sterling silver but I don't know what kind of wire I should buy, if dead soft or half hard? I don't have a tumbler.

I think I get it. I used a caliper and measured the 3.57mm 18 gauge jump rings and got an a.r. of 2.975. So, if I use 4.76 mm 16 gauge I would have the same a.r. thereby giving me a similar but bigger bracelet, right? This Byzantine tutorial was my first attempt at chain maille. I have about 200 rings that give me an a.r. of 5.84 do you have any suggestions for another weave I can try? Thanks for your help. Your video tutorial was great! Very easy to follow!

I loved making this bracelet and would like to make another one but I want it a bit bigger and chunkier. What would be the next size you would recommend? I understand I.D. on the package means inner diameter but what does D.I. mean?

Just wanting to clarify something--after the three sets of two, after the downwards-v, we're attaching the next two set of rings ONLY to the top of the downwards-v inbetween the seperated rings? The fourth pair aren't being attached to the rings beneath?

Can you please share information on gauge?

I am not quite sure what you mean by the jump rings not "clicking" - if they look closed then they probably are.

its made just with jumping rings?

What are the pliers you're working with called? My round nose slip too much, and my needlenose are chipping the paint and making dents :( (I've honestly just been using my fingers lol)

Was this used to make armor?

Wire bracelet s link

Also, my jump rings don't click, but they look completely closed. What's going on?

Approximately how many rings will I need for a bracelet because I would love to make it from 925 rings. Thank you

Depending on the length, approximately 120-150 rings. Although the technique is a bit different, our Mobious Spiral Chain Maille bracelet uses only 125 rings: www.beadaholique.com/mobius-chainmaille-bracelet.html Thanks for watching!

I'm just wondering how many packs of jump rings I'll need to make an average bracelet so I can buy enough when I go to the shop. They do packs of 150.. And what mm diameter do you recommend... Thank you in advance I really appreciate anyone's help on this :-)

@beadaholique

As a general guideline, one inch of Byzantine equals about 26-28 rings. So for a 7 inch bracelet you will need 196. So two pack should give you enough if there are 150 rings/pkg. 18 Ga/ID 3.57mm

Can you please tell me the size and make of the clasps for this tutorial. I'd like to make the gold and silver bracelet but you didn't include the clasps.

The tutorial is for the byzantine chain maille technique, so unforutnately, no information on completing a finished piece of jewelry was included. The piece that she shows as an example looks to be closed with a lobster clasp. The size that you use is up to you, and would change with the size of the rings that you use. The one she shows looks to be around 10-12mm.

Ive been workng on this weave and can get the pattern but i keep marking up the jumprings.....ive coated my pliers but it just starts piling off not long after working in the project and ive tired lightening my grip but everything just slides from the grip of the pliers....i have no luck with working with wire :( ....anyone have advice for the frustration?

What type of pliers are you using? I found that Wubbers made all the difference in the world for me when doing chain maille. Also, maybe try a thinner gauge ring so you don't have to pull so hard? Those are the two tips that come to mind. Good luck! Wubbers www.beadaholique.com/t-hb-wubbers.aspx?KZread&

Beadaholique I'm using a baby wubbers chain nose plier and my first pair of chain nose pliers which were a cheap walmart brand. I'm also using the jumpring size and gauge recommended in this video. I've tried switching pliers with the different hands to see if it would change and i still had problems. I ordered a pair of the xuron chain nose pliers from yall and waiting for them to arrive to see if that works. Also have ordered a pair of bent nose chain nose pliers to see if any of that works. I dont know but ive always had trouble with working with wire. I think me being too much of a perfectionist and making sure the jumpring is super close might be part of the problem too.

Sydney Doe It is really hard not to mark up the jump rings when doing chain maille. It sounds like you are doing everything right, i think it is just a matter of keeping at it and hopefully over time it will just lessen because you will figure out little tricks and what works best for you. I love my Xuron chain nose pliers, I hope you like them too!

For the tutorial purpose, it would be nice if the jumping would be in the much larger size so viewer could see what you are doing

This style of modern chain maille jewelry is typically made without soldering the open rings. In most weaves each ring is connected to several other rings and finished piece have a very strong structure that doesn't put strain on any particular jump ring seam.

It is very confusing. I learned this technique from a book and ended up making chainmaille but it looked completely different than what it is supposed to for some reason. Watch the video a few times, maybe try to find written down instructions with pictures and play around yourself. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work at first, keep trying.

Frank Fichera Try searching for Byzantine Weave video by Spoilt Rotten Beads. Their tutorial may be a bit clearer. They use a spare piece of wire to lift the tricky rings which is a slightly easier method. Good Luck 👍🏻

As a male I think these look awesome and I would love to have some sort of jewelry made of this weave but I know all of my other male friends would make fun of me. Is there any manly ways to wear something with this weave?

@beadaholique

10 жыл бұрын

I think if you made this weave in a gunmetal, black, or antique silver finish it would look quite masculine. Some men like thicker chains, this too can add to a heavier more masculine look. To make a heavier chain, choose a thicker gauge of jump ring to work with. Best of luck and wear what makes you happy :)

Mr Felonious Activity I have heard of maille gloves being confiscated if they are worn to school, but I don't think anyone has any problem with it. Using jump rings is only for costume grade maille, but can still protect you pretty well if you use the right stuff.

And I was expecting this to be easy 🙄
