Brightly Coloured Decorative Chain Maille Set

This is a sort of modified captured ring pattern that I found in "Step by Step Wire Jewelry".  It was the pattern that caused me to find a great online source of jump rings.

The necklace is about 20" long.  The earrings are one repeat of the pattern.  Unfortunately, the green rings have a tendency to flip over the blue ring, throwing the balance off a bit.  I would try to find slightly smaller ones next time.

All rings are 16 gauge anodized aluminum.  The big rings are 5/16" and the smaller ones are 1/4".

This is a close-up showing the pattern.
