Could you make a snowflake out of the jumpringgs? If not, I'd be interested in the first one, too.

I could probably mess around with a pattern for a snowflake.... but I can't make any promises LOL I am new working with the chainmail effects.

The first one was all in sterling silver so it turned out to be a bit pricey to make and it sells for almost $100. BUT If I didn't use sterling silver it would be much cheaper. They make coloured jump rings out of stainless steel and other metals and those are kind of neat and much less expensive. I think I can get the stainless steel types in silver colour too.

It is amazing how much stuff like this is marked up in "fine" jewellry stores. We priced out a bracelet one time that we saw in a magazine and had almost the exact same materials used to make it... in the magazine it was $150 and we could make it and sell it for $50 (that is materials and labor together) It was astonishing to see how over priced some stuff is.

BCollie, thank you very much... but I can't take all the credit.... I had/have fantastic teachers. I learn more from them everyday.
