Dave, your explanation of aspect ratios has simplified something I've been baffled by until now. How do you calculate the ratios between rings that are different sizes in the same weave?

@CelticDreamsCoUk

Great question. Well.. you need a starting point obviously. Either a piece you've seen or an experiment you've made. The all important thing is to keep the same AR, as long as you do that, your chain will look the same regardless of material or size. For example I also make these byzantine bracelets with a larger Mobius link in them as the connectors. very nice. So in this case my chain links are AR 3.3 and my larger mobius links are AR 6.25 So in order to replicate this bracelet in any other material I just have to stick to these ratios. I use 1.2mm wire, but lets say I wanted to make it bigger and use 1.5 mm wire... how big would it be? what mandrels would i need? simple... The chain links would be 1.5mm wire x 3.3AR = 4.95 (5mm inside diameter ie mandrel required) and hence the chain would be 6.3mm outside diameter ( imagine looking across a ring 1.5 wire + 5 mandrel +1.5 wire ) Likewise the larger mobius rings would be 1.5 wire x 6.25 AR = 9.375 (say 9.5mm mandrel) and the larger links would be 12 mm outside diameter (1.5 + 9.5 +1.5= 12.5 mm). So just grab my 5mm and 9.5 mm mandrels with my 1.5 wire and the chain will look exactly the same, just bigger. Remember that you can always work the calculation backwards. to get the number you require. Inner diameter / wire diameter =AR Wire diameter X AR = Inner diameter (the mandrel size required) Wire diameter + mandrel Diameter + Wire diameter = outside diameter (width of final bracelet). Outer diameter - Wire diameter - wire diameter = Inner diameter. So just flip it round to get whatever number you want to know. Someone comes to you and says they want a nice heavy byzantine bracelet, about 1cm wide. What do you do ? what wire do you need? what size? well you know that the ideal AR for a nice byzantine is 3.5 and you need an outside diameter of 10mm So that's our starting point. I have spreadsheets with all wires and ARs on. but without that we need to make a guess a starting point. So lats say 2mm wire. So... 2mm X 3.5 AR = 7mm mandrel (7+2+2) = 11mm Outside diameter. So if the customer is happy with 11mm then that's fine. If he definitely insists that its 1cm then lets go with a slightly smaller wire. say 1.9 mm.... 1.9mm X 3.5 AR = 6.65 mm Mandrel 1.9 + 6.65 + 1.9 = 10.45mm Outside diameter, Unless he's using a micrometer to measure the chain I'm sure less than half a mm over will be fine. Failing that, work out 1.8mm or 1.7mm wire. the point is, all the chains will look the same just different scale. As you reduce the the wire you reduce the mandrel and vice versa, hence the AR always remains the same, and the chain looks identical and in proportion. Hope this all makes sense. I can look at a picture on the web, print it out (size doesn't matter) and measure the rings. then work out the aspect ratio. I can then replicate that chain in any size I want. Very powerful once you've got it. Dave

Great video tutorial! I used this video to make a byzantine necklace from copper rings I wound myself, but my AR was a bit off and left me with a loose weave. To correct this I added one additional link between knots so instead of a 2-2-2 pattern like you did, I utilized a 3-2-2 and it filled in the gaps beautifully. I know its not technically correct, but it turned out well.

That's perfectly fine, some people set out to make a tipple or even quadruple byzantine where there are 3 or four connecting rings. So I guess you stumbled across that by accident. Hence the importance of the aspect ratio, as that defines how compact the wave will be. as you see it is very important. next time, use smaller rings or thicker wire, to reduce the AR. Thanks for watching. Dave.

Great to hear. Difficult to explain, but as I say, easy when you know how. To tighten up the chain, either use slightly thicker wire, or a smaller mandrel. You mention a rotary drill and small saw. You must avoid those thin circular saw blades, uncovered in a Dremel - it's a lethal combination. I almost lost the end of my finger doing that. Best to saw them by hand with a jewellers saw. But steel wire is going to be tough to cut whatever you use. Enjoy. Dave.

Please don't ever remove this video! 😊 You explain it all so well that I finally came back and decided to try this. I don't have a proper mandrel for the abundant supply of 20 ga copper wire on hand so I used a screwdriver (=6mm) instead and Xuron precision flush cutters to make enough jump rings to get to the 2nd "V". It amazes me that something can be so easy and so difficult (hand cramps) simultaneously. LOL! Mentally, I get it now, it makes sense, but I'm struggling physically. I'm fairly certain my aspect ratio is NOT correct but I was wondering if having it tighter using smaller rings makes it easier? Or do I really need thicker wire if I get serious about it? Thanks again for the inspiration and awesome tutorial! 🙂

Well thank "you|" for the lovely comments. This is why I make these videos. To help and to inspire others like yourself. So thanks for the comments, it makes all the hard work worthwhile. Byzantine looks best with a ratio of 3.5, so ensure the mandrel is 3.5 times the diameter of the wire. If you're using flush cutters to cut the rings, are you aware of the flip move with the cutters? its way of getting perfectly flush rings. See the video link below.

I really like that tight appearance, the other with a lot of space between rings does not like much, for that reason I would like to know what are the exact measurements of the rings that I need for each different thickness in each project that I do based always on the Aspect Ratio, and so you can buy them exactly as I need them without risk of making a mistake buying the wrong size thank you very much master, a lot of respect for you my friend

The chain is not called aspect ratio, the chain is called byzantine. Aspect ratio is the mathematical calculation used. To make a silver bracelet like mine. I use 1.2mm silver wire, wound on a 4mm bar This gives an aspect ratio of 3.3 which is the inside diameter 4 divided by the wire 1.2 4/1/2=3.3 Watch the beginning of the video again and hopefully you will understand what the aspect ratio means.

Thank you Dave! This is an awesome video as I was able to see exactly how to make this pattern and reproduce it. The cherry on the top was showing us how to make the clasp. Very nice!

I find it so annoying that many people never show how to finish it. Hence why I wanted to show everything from start to finish. and explain all the theory. A long video perhaps- but hopefully well explained. Thanks for watching. Dave
