1.5″ lengths of 18 gauge fine silver wire.
Wrap around a mandrel as below.
Join together
Ball up the ends with your torch.
Fuzzy photographs. Sorry.
Give it a friend.
Repeat
Repeat again.
Until desired length.
As this is fine silver the ends ball up perfectly, but the links are very soft.
So, tumble to harden.
By the way.
This is what I did with the other half of the amethyst.
Happy Monday :)

The chain is beautiful–I love making chains so I’ll give this one a try! I also love using fine silver–have you made any loop-in-loop chains, where you fuse the links closed?

Not yet, but I’m up for all sorts of chains :)
