Technique: chain maille (adventurous beginner)
Learn to weave a delicate chain maille bracelet and coordinating necklace with premium American-made jump rings and gorgeous etched glass Gekko beads. Patience is necessary to get the fiddly Gekko beads onto the jump rings, but you’ll be rewarded with an incredible jewelry set!
If you know how to open and close jump rings, then you’re ready to begin your chain maille journey with this adventurous beginner kit.
The Gekko Duet kit includes:
- detailed written instructions for both the Gekkoscale Bracelet and Running Gekkos Necklace
- etched Czech glass Gekko beads (Not all of the beads will fit on the rings, so we're including plenty of extras.)
- jump rings
- toggle clasps (may differ from the one shown in photo)
Tools needed to assemble the project (not included)
- two pairs of jewelry pliers (Richard recommends bent chain nose or flat nose)
Color Notes:
- Polaris is intermediate because it's hard to see the hole in the crystal colored Gekko beads and because both sizes of jump rings are the same color.
