Beaded Chain Mail Jewelry: Timeless Techniques with a Twist

About this book

Chain mail is one of the hottest jewelry trends out there; add beads and the style positively sizzles. Who could resist? Bestselling author and chain mail expert Dylon Whyte presents his time-tested time-saving techniques with more than 30 breathtaking projects ranging from extremely simple to challenging. A thorough introduction illustrated with computer-generated pictures covers the basics of chain mail techniques. Then Whyte reveals his patented perfected beading method: rather than using difficult wire-wrapping he threads the beads directly onto the rings before theyre fashioned into chain mail. The exciting collection of 30 projects includes a delicate Persian patterned anklet embellished with tiny silver bells; an amethyst opera-length necklace; and silver earrings shaped like inverted peacock feathers edged with rings and turquoise beads.
