Chain Mail Jewelry
Contemporary Designs from Classic Techniques

Terry Taylor & Dylon Whyte

Once used to create protective garments, chain mail techniques and patterns have now been adapted for jewelry making by innovative artists. Making chain mail jewelry requires very little tools and you'll be able to achieve impressive results. If you choose to work with purchased, commercially made rings, two pairs of pliers are nearly all the tools you will need. If you want to fashion your own rings, a few mandrels and cutting tools are required.
