          Steel Empire Chain Maille Bracelet Tutorial

          Created by: Rita Hutchinson

          Designer Tips

          • This is a variation of the standard Byzantine weave, called Byzantine with 3 connectors. I wanted to use all stainless steel for this bracelet, but the aspect ratio (wire diameter vs inside diameter) of the rings would have created a loose weave. By adding the 3rd connector, the weave became tighter and sturdier.
          • Books such as the Basics of Chain Maille provide instructions for the Byzantine weave.
          • The stainless rings come closed. You will have to open a number of them, but won't have to do any additional work to have closed rings.
          • This finished bracelet is 8". Vary the length by adding or subtracting units from the chain.
