Introduction: Really Easy Way to Start and Make the Full Persian Chain Mail Weave

About: My name really is Pearl. You could say I was born to make jewelry! I not only make jewelry but teach beginner beading. I am the author of a popular jewelry blog which features wonderful inspirational artisan…

Many chain mail weaves are easy......once you get started.  So here is a really simple solution to get you started on the Full Persian chain mail weave without tearing your hair out!

I used 18G 1/4" bright aluminum and bronze rings, a couple of wire ties and a stainless steel clasp.  The two colors not only help with the instruction but also adds to the design. The bronze rings will patina to a darker color. Otherwise this piece is low maintenance and inexpensive to make.

This voiceless video was the first one I ever made. The rings are not always closed as well as they should as I was concentrating on not knocking the camera over!  But you'll get the idea.
