Westminster, CO (PRWEB) May 2, 2005 -- Culturejewelry.com
presents an ancient notion – make fine jewelry
yourself. Now craftspeople are not limited to
the (one style fits all) jewelry found at the
mall. This craft is low cost, and easy to make
for the average craftsperson. Chainmaille jewelry
is fashionable and durable. No sophisticated equipment
is necessary. There is no soldering required due
to its multiple interlocked jump ring construction.
It is a portable craft that requires no bench
setup.
The Chainmaille jewelry Pattern e-Book describes
exactly how to make this happen.
Plans are provided for making the Chainmaille
Jewelry Assembly Jig. This tool made with common
materials costing no more than $5, simplifies
the normally tedious manipulation of small jump
rings. This tool introduces a breakthrough method
to ensure chainmaille jewelry is a pleasure to
make. It is certain that the craftsperson will
not return to this particular craft without the
control this tool allows. The only other tools
needed are two pairs of pliers.
Materials required to complete bracelet or necklace
projects are sterling silver jump rings, and a
clasp.
The patterns are complex due to the interconnected
“woven” nature of the jump rings. Therefore, the
Chainmaille Jewelry Pattern e-Book is illustrated
with 3D computer aided models, rendered in high-resolution
images for clarity. The step-by-step instructions
for each pattern presented leave no detail out.
Making the jewelry in the Chainmaille Jewelry
Pattern e-Book gives rise to creating new patterns
and combinations of patterns. The modular nature
of jump rings and how they can attach in various
ways gives craftspeople many avenues for creativity.
The intricate, lace-like nature of this particular
jewelry is rewarding to make, wear, or give as
a gift. Learning how to make this kind of jewelry
would also be a benefit to craftspeople who sell
at craft shows.

which shows how the spiral pattern goes together.
“Handmade jewelry is not new; fine handmade jewelry
with a personal cultural flare is new”, said jewelry
designer and author Matthew Woodbury. “This jewelry
is like a favorite pair of jeans; sought after,
comfortable, relied upon for complimenting one’s
wardrobe, and durable through time and trend.”
