Beaded Chain Mail Jewelry, Whyte
Timeless Techniques with a Twist
144 pages, 10-1/4 x 8-3/4 (Hardcover)
Chain mail is one of the hottest jewelry trends
out there; add beads and the style positively
sizzles. Who could resist? Bestselling author
and chain mail expert Dylon Whyte presents his
time-tested, time-saving techniques with more than 30 breathtaking
projects, ranging from extremely simple to challenging.
A thorough introduction, illustrated with computer-generated
pictures, covers the basics of chain mail techniques. Then Whyte
reveals his patented, perfected beading method: rather than using
difficult wire-wrapping, he threads the beads directly onto the rings
before they’re fashioned into chain mail. The exciting collection of
30 projects includes a delicate Persian patterned anklet, embellished
with tiny silver bells; an amethyst opera-length necklace;
and silver earrings shaped like inverted peacock feathers, edged
with rings and turquoise beads. Illustrated with photos.
