Sweet!!! Glad it was helpful!

Colin, you are a wonderful teacher. I never would have thought of attempting this weave, but you have given me the confidence to try it. Thank you!

Love it. Clear and easy to follow. Like the way you explain everything. Thank you for sharing.

I wear a six and a half bracelet. That's one thing about making your own bracelet. You can make the size you want for your wrist.

Wow, Colin is fantastic! I watch her videos repeatedly. It just so happens that I bought some 16 gauge jump rings of 5mm inner diameter, and I have been searching for a pattern to use with them. This chain looks hard for a beginner like me, but I will try with Colin's expert help. Please make some more videos, Colin! Especially ones that incorporate small beads---I mean tiny beads. Thanks so much, Beaducation, for Colin's videos!

Your one heck of an instructor girl I must say there are some tutorials for thise weave and you cut the fog for sure some of the other names there using for this weave like inverted round mail they both look alike by name and by sequence you got this going on all day nice tutorial

Thank you for all your brilliant tutorials Colin ... you are my favourite tutor! Your explanations, hand & eye co-ordination and camera work are superb! I love your tutorials!

Best tutorial for this technique!!!

Excellent demonstration, detailed with great explanation.

+Jeramie Lokey Hi Jeramie! It sounds like you're having full making chainmail. When purchasing jump rings, make sure you take note of the O.D. (outter diameter), or I.D. (inner diameter) listed, and purchase accordingly. Thank you for watching!

can you use the bead caps such the dragon bead caps for the ends?

Hi Belinda, sure you can use any beads caps that will fit the end of the chain inside.

What size mandrel do I need for 12 ga. wire to achieve a nice tight weave?

I am not sure. When you change the gauge, all the dynamics change. I have never made this with 12g.

what size jump rings used for this design please

4mm Inner Diameter, 18 gauge > > 180 jump rings will create approximately 7" - 7.5" of chain, here is a link to our 18 gauge jump rings - look for 4mm ID beaducation.com/collections/jump-rings-split-rings/thickness_18-gauge+shape_round-rings

I am having an issue with my pattern after I do the first and second set of three rings the fourth set will not fall into place and I do not want to force them down. Any ideas as to what might be causing this to happen? I am using F=5/32" (4.0 mm ) 18ga = 1.2 mm jump ring.

Hi! I emailed Colin the instructor and this is what she said: It sounds like he is using base metal (probably aluminum) jump rings that are too thick and small for the Open Round to work. I'm using sterling rings, which are 4mm, 18 gauge (1.02mm), which can be confusing in itself if you are not paying close attention. 18 gauge in American Wire Gauge measures 1.02mm, as opposed to the Standard Wire Gauge where 18 gauge measures 1.2mm thick. Close but not the same. So, he can stay with 18 gauge SWG and use a larger ring, somewhere in the range of 4.7mm, and that should solve the problem. Hopefully this will help! Let us know if we can help in any other way. Have a great day!

thank you for the help and I will see if there is a retail shop where I can buy my jump rings from instead of on line

jeramie lokey You could buy them from us too if you would like. Our jump rings are made in-house by our chainmail instructor. You can find all of our jump rings here: www.beaducation.com/shop/chain-jump-rings-jump-rings-c-62_213.html

If a use a 21 gauge wire instead of a 18 gauge, will the bracelet turn out the same?

Hi! I spoke with Colin the instructor of this class, and she said: "For 21 gauge, you want to use a 2.85mm ring. 3mm would most likely work just fine". Let us know if we can answer any other questions. Have a great day!

When you say 4mm jump rings, is that inner or outer diameter? (I want to make my own). Thanks!

+goldpig1964 When Colin refers to jump ring sizes she refers to inner diameter. Have a great time making this fun project!

+Beaducation Thanks! Do most designers go by inner diameter then? I tried caging some bead (not one of her videos), and they kept falling out, so finally I figured rule-of-thumb would be inner measurements. Would that be an accurate statement?

+goldpig1964 Hi! We are not sure there is a rule of thumb. We would recommend also asking the instructor which they use. Have a great day, and happy chainmailing!
