Long Silver Byzantine

I love the byzantine pattern.  And, it is relatively easy to put together, once I remember the order.  For this, I wanted something long and versatile.  I used 16 gauge, 5/16" aluminium rings.

The necklace is about 68" long.  I have worn it long, doubled, or with a knot in it.  There is no clasp.

The bracelet is double-wrap length, so could also be worn as a choker.

Here it is with a knot in it.  However, I realized as I started posting, that it isn't the best picture of the knot I usually tie.  It is basically an overhand knot, with only one strand on the over; it has a slip knot effect on the bottom loop.

Here is a close-up of the byzantine pattern.
