Soon after that Aislyn, at Urban Maille, offered a similar item in a kit using 18 gauge rings and a little fancier. You can always trust Aislyn to make a great design and that everything fits just right. She had been encouraged to make up such a kit because everyone loved the wallpaper on their web site. She obliged.
I decided to order the kit which she calls: Wallflowers Ring Set.
Here is the results. It is about 1 inch in diameter and is more delicate than my design. I like both designs for different looks.
My 16 gauge design is larger and a bit heavier. Therefore, the necklace part seems to need a heavier cord. So, I used the black silk cord. For the 18 gauge design a thin silver chain works well. Different looks.
Which do you prefer??

I was just playing with making chain maille pendants just like these the other day! My vote goes to the second one because it looks more like a flower to me.
