A 11.5 minute video in which I discuss some of the pieces in the chainmaille jewelry gallery, talk about the chainmaille weaves, and describe how the chain jewelry is made.

Yes, that’s really me talking on the video.

Latest Jewelry Videos

I pulled out my video camera a few days ago and made videos of several chainmaille bracelets. Each video is about 1 minute long. The purpose of these videos is to show you the chainmaille weave, the flexibility, and the “live” appearance of the bracelets. It’s difficult to know how chainmaille bracelets will look and feel from just pictures, so I hope these videos will give you a better idea.

(By the way: Sorry about the sound of crows. They were a bit noisy that morning.)
