Thick Chainmail Bracelet, Half Persian 5to1

I use the half Persian technique of chainmail for many of my pieces in this shop because it is a beautiful way to weave rings together and create a perfectly elegant style.

Usually I link rings together to form a 4 to 1 pattern of chain, but for this bracelet, I added an extra ring to create a more complex 5 to 1 design which – in my opinion – has created a really fascinating new style of texture in the chain.

The chain develops from being something rather flat and linear, to a completely different, and very intricate three-dimensional design. The cross-section reminds me of the shape of a tall trapeze. It is a bracelet perfect for both women and men thanks to the simplicity of its shape and complexity in texture.
