For the theme “Before and After” I made two-tone chainmaille earrings with rose gold plated centers and sterling silver borders in a weave called European 4-in-1. Every single ring is opened and closed by hand, with special attention paid to the closures so that no gaps or sharp edges remain. I love making chainmaille of all sizes, but I especially enjoy the discipline of working with small rings - it is both relaxing and addictive.
The earrings measure 2.5 inches long from the top of the ear wire; you can get a closer view by clicking on the photo.
this is very cool! I like the before and after pics!
ReplyDeletevery nice! I like the contrast of the 2 metals and the findings are great for wearing.
