As far as I know, this European 4in1 weave is the simplest way to do it. Though making a bracelet like this would need to have very small rings so it is not too thick, and so you can fit all the letters on it that you need. I think best gauge would be 22g - 20g. I don't know if you know what AR is, but the best AR for Euro 4in1 inlays is about 4.0 . For 22g, 4.0AR uses 3/32" (ID) Inter Diameter rings. And 20g, 4.0AR uses 1/8" ID rings.

Actually, that bracelet's European 6 in 1. I can't find the wire I used right now but I'm pretty sure it was no thicker than 22ga.
E6-1 needs a pretty big AR though, making the rings weak (especially in this wire thickness); E4-1 would be easier and stronger. Trinity is also nice to make inlays in, and can be done with an AR of only 3 so it's even stronger. A lot harder to weave, though, since it curls up. |

| I'm searching for someone on here that can create small bracelets with two colors and have eight letters into them for a group of people in an organization, that aren't too costly, if it takes time to make them, its okay. |

Ahh, 6in1, Yes I have used that for inlays before as well. The good thing about 6in1, is it had less "holes".

As I said before. Please make a post in the Trading Room forum.
Also, please follow the rules regarding negitiation. Specifically #3:
| Trading Room Rules wrote: | 3. Negotiations should take place outside of the thread.
If there is bartering/haggling/negotiating going on, it is to be taken to the Private Message function or to be conducted via email. Please be sure to include in your thread a way to reach you and your preferred method of discussion.
Questions about an item are allowed. Example; Asking what wire size the rings are if it wasn't mentioned in the original post is acceptable. Asking leading questions such as "will you take this laptop and $50 in trade?" are not. |
I am now locking this thread, in the hopes that you follow my advice, and post a 'Want to Buy' thead in the Trading Room.
