About Choosing the Gauge

16g and 18g round rings are generally the easiest rings to weave, so they're usually the best sizes for learning a new weave and for beginners.

Tiny 26g and 24g rings are challenging to weave, as are heavy 12g and 10g rings, and all shaped rings (square, diamond, etc.) so we recommend avoiding those until you're an experienced mailler.

Prices shown below are per inch of chain.

About This Weave

Skillset: Beginner

Weave Difficulty: A little challenging at first, then pretty easy.

The flower is a three ring segment of single spiral (aka a three ring mobius unit), which is the most basic unit of spiral chain. When the flowers are joined together by connecting pairs, the result is Flower Chain. When the flowers are joined together by byzantine segments, the result is Byzantine Rose.

Flower Chain spirals gently over the length of the chain so when used for earrings, it's nice to spiral the flowers one way for one earring and the other way for the other earring, so that the earrings frame the face symmetrically.
