I was intimidated by the design at first. I bookmarked it and kept coming back to it, admiring it so much. I finally took the plunge and made it in. I love, love this design. Made in Christmas colors of red, green and gold, also as a set. Also doing it in rose gold set of the earrings, necklace and bracelet. Thank you for sharing. It is gorgeous and elegant ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍

Aloha! Can I just tell you that this video started me on the chain maille path and created a MONSTER!! I LOVE the art form SOOOOOOOO VERY MUCH!!!💜💜💜💜 But I never did thank you for this and REALLY ALL OF YOUR WONDERFUL, AMAZING, AWESOME, CREATIVE TUTORIALS!! So: MAHALO & ALOHA NUI LOA from the bottom of my heart -- REALLY!💜🏝🤘🌈

[@dolly_blink3944]

Beautiful design. With your demo and exceptional instructions you've given me confidenve to make this lovely set. Thanks for taking the time to record and sharing this tutorial.

[@jennamarie2353]

i’ve never done chainmail before and bought some supplies and came across this! Such an easy tut compared to the others ones i was watching and i finished a bracelet and earrings in around 2 hours!! thank you

[@greenday1guitarfreak]

So easy to understand and the piece turned out so beautiful!! Thank you for teaching us!! You're a total artist

[@sharonrose9552]

It took me a long time to do the earrings. I see why you said to warmup with the bracelet first, why you used the wire, and also why you need the second pair of the xuron pliers. I struggled with the final rings to close the loop on the earrings. I ended up putting the tiny ones and the floaters on, then finishing with the big ones. It was a lot easier to make sure I ended up on top where it was supposed to be. The tutorial was great and right on the money.

[@kimainsworth3628]

Hi beautiful Joselyn, I am so happy to see that you are safe and well. I have watched many videos in the past on chain mail but yours I could understand...but maybe that is because I'm so in favor when it comes to your art. I hope all is well and thank you for this very clearly defined and explained video.

I love these, and love your channel! Question on the jump rings for the earrings. Did you mean 20g, 6mm OUTER diameter? I can’t find any stores that carry the 6mm inner dimension size.

[@kadavracat387]

well i couldnt find em either but i tried another size like 8mm,,* 0.3 it looks pretty good

[@deboraalmeida9905]

Uauuu ficou muito criativo seu trabalho só com argolas, e as peças ficaram lindas!!! Parabéns!!🤗😘

[@douxancolie]

Great tutorial. I managed to make the chanimaille bracelet, the Tree of Life with great ease. However, the earring is a bit more complicated. I get close to connect both ends, and soon other loops are separating and falling off. I have noticed that the hoops I get, do not say what size, so I use a paper bead size chart. I cannot get my earring to look perfectly symmetric like your set. I am getting closer. I have made three attempts. Today, I'm trying the copper pyramid bracelet. Thank you.

[@cantaloupix9753]

Would these work well with handmade jumprings?

[@sharonrose9552]

I made the earrings with handmade ones, but you need to be careful how they get cut. The ones I cut with the side cutters popped loose while trying to put it together. I couldn't get the xuron double flush cutters inside the 2.5mm loop to cut them. I think it will hold as you can tuck the gaps behind stuff.

[@SpirituallyRefined]

Are these ring sizes in SWG or AWG?

[@swkrissie]

I got silver-filled wire and made a few things with it, it is now almost black with tarnish. What is the best thing to clean it with? I made the wire roses and a rag doesn't get into those areas. Also, can I coat it with something to prevent it from tarnishing again?

[@FantasiaElegance]

Yes, both silver-filled and sterling will tarnish quite rapidly. But, they are very easy to clean :) My favorite is the aluminum foil and baking soda method, which I've done a tutorial on here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3yzfJemfrGEd7c I will also use a Sunshine jewelry cleaning cloth or Pro Polish pads for items that can't handle the method above. As far as preventing tarnish with a coating, your options are a clear lacquer, like Protecta Clear, or a wax, like Renaissance wax (both available on Amazon). Just be aware that any coating will wear off unevenly over time and have to be removed and re-applied. Because of this, I usually just leave it as-is and clean frequently.

[@milokip1523]

I can't find 6mm ID 20 gauge rings. Anybody know alternative sizes that would work well for rhe flower that would keep a similar size ratio

[@FantasiaElegance]

Hi, can I use 3mm rings instead of 2,5mm ones for the flower? I can't find them in any shop in my country

You can, but you'll need to also size up the larger rings or your flower will be too loose and won't hold it's shape.
