Wire Wrap Jewelry
Jumpring or Chain Maille Bracelet
A Skip, A Hop, and A Jump Bracelet

This fun chain mallie / jump ring bracelet has quite a bit of play in it - hence the name. If you're making all of your own jump rings, it takes some time to complete, but it is so worth it. This is a simple japanese technique chain maille. This type of chain maille makes nice angles.

You'll need these supplies:

  • 22 and 18 gauge gold tone wire
  • size 8 seed beads or E beads

You'll need these tools:

  • Bent nose or chain nose pliers
  • Flat nose pliers
  • round nose pliers
  • file
  • size 7 and 13 knitting needles

1.) Using the size 7 and size 13 knitting needles, make jump rings. The size 13 makes about a 10mm jump ring, the size 7 makes about a 6mm jump ring. You will need 31 - 10mm and 104 6mm jump rings to make a 7.25" bracelet. When work hardening the 10mm jump rings, put on a bead. Connect the rows as shown in the pictures below. Make nine rows of three and two rows of two.

2.) Connect the rows to each other using one jump ring. Then go back and add another jump ring to each link. I found this to be the easier way. Add one of the two-jump ring rows to each end. Using the outside rings on the last three-jump ring row, connect with two jump rings to each ring in the two-jump ring row. The middle jump ring of the three-jump ring row puts one jump ring in each link.(see pic)

3.) Make a two-strand coil clasp. Connect with jump rings.

4.) To make this bracelet larger or smaller add or subtract a row of jump rings. Enjoy!
