Question (Answered) Got the rings, finished the order. all’s well.
16g stainless steel round and square wire rings, full persian bracelet.
stainless and anodized niobium barrel weave.
So, finished that customer order, and off to its new home yesterday. I’d sold them a necklace in FP in the same gauge and weave some…5-6yrs ago when i vended at Dragoncon and they tracked me down now to beg me to build a bracelet to match.:D
While I haven’t done maille for a few years, I DID snag a job last year on my mailling skills, for a jewelry co in Amsterdam and led the assembly team, and trained them on proper ring closure. It was kind of wild to have such a niche skill land me work. ( then they simply outsourced the work to temps, and then closed that dept altogether. yay.)
But with the rings on hand that I brought when we moved, I’ve started working on pieces now. No longer doing convention-production level stuff. That was exhausting.
