Trinity Pendant
New Chain Maille
As
most of you know, I love to make Chain Maille jewelry. Also, most
people seem to love my Chain Maille jewelry. However, it is expensive to
make and therefore to purchase.
To
help with this "dilemma" I've decided to make some Chain Maille
pendants that require fewer expensive silver rings or use some colored
rings and therefore offer jewelry that is more affordable.
Here is my first attempt. I saw a picture that I liked and this is the results.
Not too good. The smaller rings are too big and the 3 large rings are not big enough.
The
next step was to look through my stash of rings and I found some larger
red rings that had come as a sample with an order. (Most freebies are
not worth anything - but these samples finally found a home.) Then I
found some smaller, small rings.
It
was somewhat of a challenge to make the pendant similar to the picture
but I was progressing. The rings are now in proportion and I came up
with the name "Trinity"
Here is a close up of the results.
I have some more ideas that I'm working on for new pendants and hope to show some more next week.
How do you like this direction? Starting with the Star pendant last week and the Trinity pendant this week?
I
really don't like to be stuck in a rut so I'll still be doing other
types of jewelry but I really want your opinions. So, here is your
chance: Bev, this is what I think.

I really like your colored versions of this pendant!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love the red. I've been thinking of using other colors but red (at least in my mind) seems the best. What other color do you think would work?
