Bold Graduated Byzantine Necklace

This lovely, tapering necklace is made with heavy 12g rings in the front, narrowing smoothly to 18g in the back. Many ring sizes are required to effect this smooth taper. Handling the stiff 12g rings that make up the front portion of this necklace is challenging so we recommend this bold version for chainmakers with strong hands who rarely grip the rings hard enough to dent them. Until then, the less taxing delicate version is the better choice. Please note that the delicate and bold versions of this necklace are constructed differently, so the instructions are not interchangeable. If you've made one, you'll still need instructions for the other, rather than just the ringset.

The ringpack makes a necklace up to 20 inches long. Add 18g byzantine to the ends if you'd like to make the necklace longer. Choose a clasp sized to compliment 18g byzantine. Clasps are available in Components.

Most of our kitpacks consist of perfectly sized and tested ringsets for weaves we did not create and which exist in the public domain. We freely share all those ring sizes, which represent many, many hours of weave testing. But this is not one of those. This is one of Aislyn's designs, Urban Maille Exclusives, all of which have very close tolerances and are sized specifically for our rings. We don't publish those ring sizes.

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.
