Vertebrae Chainmaille Ring Sizes (Round Wire)
These are the round-wire jump ring sizes I use for Vertebrae, in 16g to 24g AWG. For each gauge you get the inner diameter (ID) in millimeters and rings per inch (RPI), so you can work out how many rings your piece needs. 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 Vertebrae inchpacks, the Vertebrae instructions, or round wire jump rings.
