This tutorial from The Potomac Bead Company shows you how to use jump rings to create the byzantine pattern. This is usually one of the first jump ring or chain maille patterns that students will learn, and can be use to create earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and more. You can also use a variety of different sizes, shapes, cuts, and colors of jump rings in the pattern, as long as the sizes are all relative. Enjoy!
Open a set of aluminum jump rings.
Use 20 gauge wire to mark the start of your bracelet for orientation.
Attach two jump rings through the initial two, followed by another set of two, creating a base pattern of three sets of two rings.
Bend the first set of rings back, then open the middle set to create a channel.
Insert two new rings into the channel, forming the start of the Byzantine pattern.
Repeat the process: add two rings, bend back the last set, open the middle set, and add two new rings into the channel.
Continue until the bracelet reaches the desired length.
Attach a clasp to finish the bracelet.
Create a double or tripple leather wrap with an extra flair. Use seed beads to create a delicate border to showcase a mosaic of gemstones, crystals and glass. This wrap is comfortable to wear and makes a great piece to take (or make) on a summer vacation destination.
