Chain Mail Basics: Making a Simple Silver Bracelet

This tutorial shows how to make a fun bracelet with a chain mail pattern. This is an intermediate level project because of some precise soldering. For materials, I used 16 (1.3 mm) and 18 (1.02 mm) gauge sterling round wire, and 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) fine silver bezel strip in 26 gauge (.41 mm). As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and a liquid flux, but also used some easy paste solder for this project.

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thank you Gazz!

[@bojicasin]

Fun!

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Bojicasin!

[@rochellebg2031]

Very nice bracelet!! I love the way the chainmail moves. Those pieces you showed at the beginning must have been quite the undertaking!! 😮

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Rochelle! It was the kind of thing you did while watching tv:)

[@TheWaterMarbler]

What a pretty bracelet. So cool to see the way it moves.

[@chadssilversmithing]

That’s what I really like about chain mail. It moves really interestingly. Thanks Water Marbler:)

[@SheranSimo]

I love this! A great way to use the stones I’ve been cutting AND incorporate my chainmaille!

[@chadssilversmithing]

You'll be the fanciest Knight around:)

[@jay8353]

Another awesome tutorial chad.

[@chadssilversmithing]

I'm really glad you liked it Jay!

[@binbeansnah]

very timely, chain maille is quite "in" right now

[@chadssilversmithing]

Is it? Well, good timing then:)

[@____julia____]

That's really pretty Chad and would be a great piece to practice soldering (with an L 😊) on. I know it won't be as easy as how you make it look! I might have missed you saying, but do you know what the total length of wire needed for the chain is?

[@chadssilversmithing]

Unfortunately I didn’t think to measure. 80-100ish cm?

[@____julia____]

@@chadssilversmithing I guess I can do some maths and calculate what I'll need. Thanks for replying ❤️

[@maryleemartz3722]

Hi Chad I have downloaded your book, but I'm having trouble opening the video link. Any suggestion?
