Vortex Medallion Unitpacks

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 medallion.

These are the round-wire jump ring sizes I use for Vortex Medallion, in 12g to 22g AWG. For each gauge you get the inner diameter (ID) in millimeters and rings per unit (RPU), so you know how many rings each medallion takes. Every ring is saw cut by hand in our studio, as we've done since 2003. To try the weave before you commit, start with Vortex Medallion unitpacks, the Vortex Medallion instructions, or round wire jump rings.

As with all of our work, we invite you to make and sell as many of everything as you like, but ask that you don't publish our instructions or ring sizes.

The Vortex Medallion is a clever combination of Parallel Chain and a Mobius Rose. Each unitpack holds the saw-cut jump rings for one medallion, from heavy 12g to delicate 24g AWG, so buy one unitpack for each medallion you plan to make.
