Description
Finally finished..
I have been working on this piece for more than 6 months. From the research and math to the actual jumpring-making and weaving. Yes, this was made out of wire, not premade jump rings.
Every row of large rings gives weave length of about the wire thickness. And about 5 feet of wire gives about an inch of weave length with my chosen weave width - 4 large rings per row.
This weave is extremely flexible if done correctly, it almost flows when curled, as if it's alive.
Every ring is hand made, seriously, if you don't have a digital caliper don't even consider starting a project like this. It's 1 part art, 3 parts math and 6 parts really hard work.
~ 2.5 ounces of sterling silver 20g wire - same wire for both ring sizes, that's about 40 feet of wire
AR 6 and 4 - that's about 3mm inner diameter for the small rings and 5mm for the large rings
Toggle clasp is sterling silver as well, the ring has about 2cm outer diameter.
