DescriptionThis would be a geocoin, associated pretty much exclusively with geocaching, for which I decided to make a chainmail wrap. I didn't want to rely on any kind of adhesive to hold it in, and so decided on a 3/4 full persian. To suspend it, I didn't want a straight-on connection, so I decided to use a full persian weave, and split it into two half persian 3-1 chains, which then attach to the coin wrap itself. Then, to have a smaller hanging chain, I tapered down the full persian with smaller rings, and wove a Jens Pind weave off of the taper. Now it looks smooth, flows nicely, and the Jens Pind chain can be made as long as needed or wanted. The wire used was all 18 gauge stainless steel, and the ring sizes used were 3/8", 3/16", 5/32", and 1/8" ID. I'll let you pick out which is where.Weave(s) Used (Click to View Weave)Half Persian 3 in 1, Jens Pind Linkage, Three Quarters PersianImages Tags (Click to Search Gallery)Tag(s): Accessories, Coin, Holder, Stainless Steel, WrapWeave(s): Half Persian 3 in 1, Jens Pind Linkage, Three Quarters Persian |
