Byzantine is perfect for the beginner trying out chainmaille for the first time, or the old pro who wants to make this intricate lovely weave. This kit is for 18 gauge (AWG), a good size for anyone who wants a daintier piece of jewelry. Included: - 18g 3.5mm ID sterling silver rings (enough for a 18 inch necklace) - a sterling silver lobster clasp Don't know how to weave byzantine?

THIS LISTING DOES NOT INCLUDE FINISHED JEWELRY. For your reference, the thickness of each size I offer is: 12 gauge: 11.2mm thick 14 gauge: 8.8mm thick 16 gauge: 7.1mm thick ** 18 gauge: 5.5mm thick -- this listing 20 gauge: 4.5mm thick (also makes a great anklet) (the higher the gauge, the thinner the wire) All jump rings are hand coiled and precision cut by me, and then tumbled for shine and strength. --------------------------------------- http://rainesupplies.etsy.com http://www.rainestudios-supplies.com http://www.youtube.com/user/raineyamy ---------------------------------------
