Some bits of maille

I finally got round to taking a few pictures! Apologies to anyone who's already seen any of these

Firstly a byzantine & bagel bead bracelet (love working with these, even though the sizes can be a bit tricky).

This is a weave called fieldstone - fun to do and nice and chunky without being too heavy:

Dragonscale cuff - this is in full hard silver, which was an absolute nightmare to work with, but I love the end result - it's twin has already gone to a new home. The overwide clasp was a bit of an experiment - I've never been happy with the way this weave links to a regular 3 way clasp, and I much prefer this now:

Finally, I've been trying to get OH to wear a necklace for the last 20 years. He saw a sample piece of this copper and sterling byzantine and instantly decided he wanted it. I think he looks gorgeous in it (but I'm a bit biased!)

Thanks for looking!

Wow! You have been busy. I love the one with the blue bagel beads running through it.

Oh that dragonscale cuff is just stunning! I'm impressed that you got your hubby to wear some maille too (I know I'd jump at the chance cos everything is fab), my other half has a weird thing about jewellery...he can't even wear a proper watch without it making him feel ill!

Fab work, George. I'm loving the dragonscale and the fieldstone especially.

Those are all stunning George.

Not surprised hubby grabbed the one with copper. Something tells me no matter what the act, he wouldn't have needed much persuading to wear that. It is gorgeous!

I love the one with the blue bagel beads in too - so unusual.

I take my hat off to you on all them, they are really special.

Love them all, especially the fieldstone, makes me think I must get back to doing some maille, I so enjoy doing it but then get taken over with stocking up on other things!!

Well done - that dragonscale cuff must have taken an absolute age to do!
