2-2 european. i liked it more without the shell but this was a sentimental piece for my mom, so the shell stays. lol.
full byzantine unit. not keen on the loose pattern. still, niece loved them. all is well.

pic for last caption. dayum technology. damn.
wire wrap.
last pic. these are 3mm jump rings made of 20 g silver plated wire. i made them. i am struggling to find a byzantine weave that is tight enough to please my aesthetics, while being loose enough to not drive me mad. today i am experimenting with making jump rings in 2, 3 and 3.5 mm with 18 g and 20 g wire to see which weave is the winner. will post pics when units are done. thanks for looking
