Beaded Chain Mail Jewelry Conversion Chart


We are pleased to offer this chart for the projects in this book that use silver in sizes we don't offer. We are back to the common SWG vs AWG Issues, which are simply frustrating and confusing for most of us!

Many of the patterns in this book use our rings, but I have repeated that information here, so the chart is complete.

These numbers are Calculated, not sampled, simply because we don't have all the beads used. We are also assuming that many of our customers will want to incorporate their own bead choices, so you might have to be flexible and try some different ring and bead size options. If you try a project with our rings and have a better suggestion for this chart, your feedback is Always Welcome!
