The Perfect Pair
The Perfect Pair
Each kit makes 2 rings of the same metal. The heavier ring is 20g and can be made up to size 15, which is almost 3 inches around. The more delicate ring is 22g and can be made up to size 12. The kit contains all the supplies and instructions needed to weave a matched pair of rings (even for someone who's never made chainmaille before), plus a ring sizer, all in a nice tin gift box with a window. Note that you'll want to add two pair of smooth jawed jewelry pliers like those below if it's a gift for someone who doesn't already have tools.

RIng Sizes
Note: If you know your aspect ratios, you'll notice no consistency in our recommendations for this weave. We tested the weave in every gauge for the best look and characteristics for the design so that the ring sits nicely on the finger and the aspect ratio did not remain consistent up and down the chart.

Ideas
There's nothing in this section on any of the pages now because it's taking a bit of time to assemble the photos, but this will be a gallery of pieces made from the weave or design.
