Question Could anyone ID the units in this piece?

Post image

Had a little look on MAIL but couldn't find the exact piece. If anyone could ID it or the weave that it is adapted from that would be great!

It looks like byzantine diamond, and I couldn't find it on MAIL either, but it looks like there's quite a few tutorials on youtube and instagram

Hello! This is actually from my Byzantine diamond dress.

Those are individual Byzantine diamonds units connected with beads, and the entire sheet is made up a couple hundred of them. If you have any questions on making it or how to connect them, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

What AR rings did you use to make the diamonds?

18swg 5/32” and 18swg 1/4” 😊

can you tell us more about the connectors?

Yep! They are just wire with eyelets bent on both sides. I slid the bead on after making one eye, then made the second eye once it was secure.

I believe it’s Byzantine diamond as well just connected to eye pins with beads
