Chain Mail Jewelry Conversion Chart


Ok! My apologies for the delay in getting this chart made, it was not an easy task! Speaking with Dylon Whyte, it was his job to take all these patterns and put them into the book using the same sizes. With the whole confusion with AWG vs SWG it was a big job for him!

These numbers are Calculated, not sampled. If you try a project with our rings and have a better suggestion for this chart, your feedback is Always Welcome!

Project NameRing Sizes that are closest to the piece shown in the bookOther Ring sizes that should work
Titanium Duet (Euro 4-1)16g 1/4"Any size of rubber ring will work. We carry 16g 1/4", 20g 7/64", and 14g 3/16".
Hana-Gusari Anklet18g 3/16(A) 18g 5/32" (B)Any ring size will work for this weave... Bigger-- smaller, your choice!
Japanese Cascade Earrings with Pearls20g 5/32"(A) 22G 3/32" (B)We suggest using all 20g for strength rather than trying to solder the small rings. You could also up the large rings to 18g and the use 20g for the small. Japanese weaves are very flexible.
Double Triangle Earrings18g 5/16" (A) 22g 3/32" (B)We suggest using 20g 1/8" or 7/64" instead of 22g... just for strength!
Gold & Amethyst Parure20g 5/32"20g 1/8" would also work great for this project
King's Mail Bracelet18g 5/16" (A) 18g 1/4" (B) 18g 5/32" (C)We also suggest 18g 1/4", 20g 3/16" for the main weave.
Golden Lariat20g 5/32"You can do smaller in 20g 1/8" if strength of weave concerns you.
Mobiused Rosettes Bracelet18g 1/4"(A) 18g 5/32" (B)18g in our rings seems a little bulky. We suggest 20g 5/32" for mobius flowers.
Natasha Necklace20g 1/8" (A) 18g 3/16" (B) 18g 5/16"(C)These sizes look good to us
Inlaid Chain Mail Pendant16g 3/16"This might be too tight in our gauge. I would suggest using 18g 5/32" The strength would be fine and you have MANY colour options with our enameled copper selection
Spiraling Chain16g 7/16"This is a VERY bulky chain. You can make smaller using 18g 3/16" or 20g 1/8"
Red & Black Cuff18g 3/16" (A) 18g 1/4" (B) 16g 7/16" (C) 16g 5/16" RubberThis Japanese weave can be adjusted to a daintier size using smaller rubber rings.
Byzantine Parure18g 5/32"We do this weave using 20g 7/64" ... It is a favourite.
Crochet MandalaPendant 22g 3/32"(B) & 18g 5/16"(A) & 22g 1/8"(D) & 20g 5/32"(C)

Earring - C= 22g 3/32" B= 18g 5/32" A= 18g 5/16"
These sizes should work
Free Form Flat MailRubber -various sizes & 20g 1/8"You can mix and match all our rubber sizes and colours - Your creativity is the only limit!! We'd use a cheaper metal than silver to connect.
Hana-Gusari Bangle16g 5/16"(A) 18g 5/32" (B)You can experiment with other japanese patterns... Make sure your closures are better than the photo
Japanese 4-1 Chain Mail Bracelet20g 1/8"Many sizes will work for this weave... You can use smaller rings to connect bigger too
Lace Mail Cocktail Collar18g 5/16" (A) 18g 1/4"(B) 18g 1/8"(C)Books says 16g but that is AWG... 18g is our equivelant
Japanese 12-2 watch bandrubber 16g 1/4" - 20g 1/8" (A) 18g 5/16" (B)This is a fun piece... You can flip and use small rubber and connect with big solid rings
Japanese 6-1 Mail Bracelet16g 3/8"(A) 18g 5/32Simple variation! Nice...
Japanese Lace Collar20g 3/32"(A) 20g 9/64" (B) 20g 5/32"(C) 20g 3/16" (D)These sizes are calculated... We don't use 19 or 21 guage, so we did our best to calculate 20g equivelant
Braided Bracelet20g 1/8"Very interesting way to spice up 4-1
Chandelier Earrings22g 1/8" (A) 20g 3/16"(B)Not sure where you would find the silver disks...
Coif Cage Amulets20g 3/16" (A) 20g 5/32" (B)Many sizes will work... Euro 4-1 is flexible
