CHAINED book variation kits now available!

Posted by Jenna | No Comments | Read More / Add Comment

In addition to selling kits for every project in the book, we now have CHAINED variation kits! By popular demand, we now have kits for…

Ripple Necklace in Aluminum

Until now we have only offered this popular project in sterling silver as shown in the book. This more affordable version offers the same great shine in a very lightweight, easy to wear material.

Helm Wave in Aluminum, Jewelry Brass & Copper

The Helm Wave project is one of the most popular in the book, however the combination of stainless steel and bronze limited the number of maillers able to complete the kit. We now offer this project in 3 different combinations using aluminum, jewelry brass and copper – three metals great for every level!

Helm Wave in Sterling Silver & Gold-Filled

We also now have the Helm Wave project in precious metal. A beautiful combination of sterling silver and gold-filled jump rings makes this bracelet a real stunner.

We will continue to roll out CHAINED variation kits throughout 2012. You can help determine which kits we create by letting us know your favorite variations from the book by filling out the form on our website. If we hear many requests for the same variation, we’ll know to prioritize that kit!
