Guest Comments 20 March 2010 I finally got around to trying a pattern from the Blue Buddha Boutique and I must say I LOVE IT !! It's the Rondo a la Byzantine! YOUR TUT IS FABULOUS!!! Very helpful, precise and yet not skimpy in the 'how to' areas, great pictures with light backgrounds - wonderful use of colors to help keep things clear - I've never seen anyone else use a 'project overview' and your's is SUPER!! (great for those of us who like pictures and hate to read!! Haha) I just had to drop you a note and say I'm totally impressed with how you do things!!! Very nice!! And a big THANKS!! Sure makes learning a new stunning pattern EASY!! I'm thoroughly impressed and rarely send out kudos like this (hardly anything but basics to praise!) - your tutorial is way over the top in my book –– Nancy Barnhart, Salome AZ 13 March 2010 I have been making chain maille for about 3 years now. I make most of my own jump rings of various materials and I get kind of tired of that. I don't get on the computer very often so when a friend of mine sent me your website, I have been thrilled. You offer alot of things that I had no idea how or where to get them. Thank you so much!!!! –– Laura, Belen, NM 13 March 2010 Really beautifull creations –– Michael Mitchell, Mornington, Australia 6 March 2010 Just checking out the site.

It feels like they are steel! I would like to try yours. So here goes! –– S. Lee Evans, Pahrump, NV 5 December 2009 Just wanted to say wow! I have never done chain mail before. Ordered the caterpillar bracelet kit. I completed it in 4 hours with my PDF instructions. It is so beautiful. I got it in aluminum though and should have gotten some other color than amber beads. It is so substantial. A real conversation piece. Thanks for the red rings. For a moment I thought I ordered something until I saw it was a gift. Anyone new should just jump in! I do have a jewelry background so having all the tools already was handy. I will order from you again soon! –– Jennifer Mahaffey, Rising Sun, MD 30 November 2009 Hi! I'm a French Canadian who recently took a course of 'Byzantine chain mail'. And it open to me the world of rings! I'm so happy to find your tutorial and supply. Great Boutique!

My girlfriend and I were complete beginners and we were just so thrilled to walk out of that abbreviated class with a whole new skill and a big new passion! It took us quite a while to sort out those 'aliens', but you were so patient and thorough, Kat. The shower curtain ring demos were ingenious. Can't wait to try another class!! Fantastic!! –– Mia P, Glenview, IL 15 August 2009 Just wanted to say Thank You to Kat. I took her class Wednesday at the Niles Library. She did a fabulous job! I am wearing my bracelet everyday and have received lots of compliments. Thanks again Kat! –– Leslie, Niles, IL 29 July 2009 I was browsing the Internet for a place in the States to buy rings and came across your site. I have been on here for about an hour and am delighted with what I see. I have been getting my rings from Canada but the next time I need rings I'll come here. I have been doing chainmaille for 10 years now and love it. –– Sharon Daniels, Columbus KS 13 July 2009 I want to thank you for the nice little mat and the extra pkg of rings I get with all my orders. I am 76 yrs old (that was hard to write) and my hands were not what they use to be but I tried anyway. I started with the Maru bracelet and it came out lovely as I did more bracelets I found my hands were stronger I find this is wonderful for me anyway. I have been pleased with anything I have gotten and hope to get more. Thanks! –– Erna B, Cranston, RI 8 July 2009 I want to thank you for the great directions I bought and downloaded from your site. I have several books, a video and numerous other tutorials for the dragonscale and yet I was unable to get it to work for me. I went to your site to give it one last try. It took some time but I finally accomplished my goal! Thanks so much. The way the directions were written was as if I had a person there pointing out all the little hidden points for the rings to pass. I love it! Keep up all the great work and I've already sent many people to your site. I visited your booth at the recent B&B show and talked with some of your girls. They were the nicest people you could ever meet! –– Maureen Martinek, Syracuse 15 June 2009 Thank you!. Got my order in 3 business days after you were at B&B for a week. You people are workaholics! Guess thats a sign that you love your jobs. And the order is PERFECT. I am so excited to play with the rubber rings, thank you for such swift and perfect processing. –– Kathy, NV 1 May 2009 Just found your site in June 2009 Bead & Button Magazine.

I can't wait to upgrade to precious metals –– jazmyn 20 March 2009 Rebeca, Your chainmaille scarf (?) is unbelievable! Will You bring it to Milwaukee? I would love to see it in person. –– Maureen Martinek (AKA Beadinghearts), Syracuse, NY Blue Buddha replies: Yep, the scarf will be at Bead&Button! Along with one of Vanessa's epic projects, either the shrug, or her new jacket, or both! Whew! 13 March 2009 I love learning and making chainmaille and I really enjoy your website. It's easy to use. –– Becky A. Brefol, Cincinnati, OH 13 March 2009 THANK YOU. Thank you thank you!! I ordered my kits the morning of the 10th and they arrived in CA today 10AM mail. GREAT service.

Will be back for more. –– Fred, Shelby, NC 9 February 2009 is there some kind of chart to indicate what the sizes are say from little to bigger. I'm just getting started and am not yet sure on sizes. –– Dawn Kiriazis, Canton MI Blue Buddha replies: Thanks for your message. Our jump ring sizes article in our FAQ should help you greatly. There are a few charts at the top that show the size of the ring (make sure your printer is set to 100% when printing!). Then, the Inner Diameter chart should help also. Part of the chart is online, but you'll see a link to the left of the chart to download a PDF that has full conversions up to one inch. If you still have questions, please just let us know! We have interns here who can test patterns for you so that you can be sure you're getting sizes that'll work for your project! 11 January 2009 I just wanted to say that I absolutely love Blue Buddha Boutique! Thanks a million for filling my orders in good time - every time! I am glad I found you. I knew nothing about chainmaille last year and then I started ordering your colored annodized aluminum jump rings from your company and WOW - I learned the Persian, Spiral, European and Helm weaves one after the other! I am constantly thinking of new ideas ! I have to say that the COLORS of your rings alone INSPIRED me greatly! I have not seen something so beautiful for a long time as your colored annodized aluminum rings! (P16's) :) Thanks again! –– Wendy M, Winnipeg, Canada 7 January 2009 I absolutely LOVE your website and business! I've ordered from you many times in the past year, and am NEVER dissatisfied. Rebeca - I look up to you!!! :-) I've made your Japanese Lace bracelet many times to raving reviews - only I triple the D 20 rings. It looks spectacular! I just wish you were in Florida - I'd probably live in your store!!!! Keep up the great work! –– Nicole S. Hale, Jacksonville, FL 18 November 2008 First, your website is amazingly clear and easy to navigate. I learned about you from someone I met at the bead shop where I work part-time (Happy Beadium in Edgebrook). Second, I have been doing maille for a couple years now, all self taught, and have been making ALL my own rings. Now that I know that there is a local source for ready-made rings, I will more than likely be visiting your shop. I'm looking forward to meeting you and getting your opinion on some of my pieces (I'm a big show-off, sue me). –– Jed Hardacker, Mount Prospect, IL 10 November 2008 I received my pliers today! Way faster than expected THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! OMG what a difference a quality-purpose designed tool makes! My hands and wrists may survive this addiction. Thank you. I will be back! –– Vanessa Hopson, Stuttgart AR 8 November 2008 Blue Buddha's anodized aluminum jumprings are light-years ahead of any other I've ever found. When I received my first order from Blue Buddha, they MORE THAN EXCEEDED my hopes and expectations!! Just the fact that I am able to be joyful has me positively thrilled! I love your rings - they are pristine and as perfect as I could dare hope for. I've purchased anodized jump rings from a few other retailers and had always found the quality to be sorely disappointing. So, I decided to try Blue Buddha ... and held my expectations as low as possible. But I did keep quietly hoping for the best. When the rings arrived, I didn't even have to actually apply the pliers to any creation to know that these are 100% A+ in quality. And now, after having made quite a few pieces with the gorgeous colors, I can cheerfuly offer you my heartfelt appreciation and congratulations! You've now earned a fan and a customer for life! –– Darcy Shepherd, Reston VA 27 October 2008 I'm so happy I found you! I will definetly be doing all of my business here for my jump rings! You shipped both of my orders very quickly, and thank you for the free sample of colored jump rings!!!! –– Laurie, Mesa AZ 20 October 2008 I heard that you are a good source for jump rings so I am just checking you out. –– Pat Koehler, Muskego WI 15 October 2008 I just received some AA rings I bought, and I am very happy. It's so nice to have a dependable supplier in the states! It was such a hassle having to wait almost 3 wks. for delivery from Canada. I will be a steady customer. Thanks again! –– Andrea Tibbitts 5 October 2008 I spent four hours today with Kat who showed me various weaves. She's an outstanding teacher and very patient. I highly recommend taking classes here. –– Cheryl Solomon, Chicago IL 30 September 2008 What great customer service and your rings are beautiful. Just what I expected. Thank you. –– Theresa Anderson , Las Vegas, NV 18 August 2008 Great site and great supplies, very timely delivery. –– Kathy Johnson, Marlborough, MA 14 August 2008 I love your site ... such nice work. I have just started working with chain maille, and I hope to incorporate it into my work. –– Beth, Austin, TX 30 July 2008 I've met you at a few shows. Wish I lived closer so that I could take your classes. –– Barbara DeYoung, Pittsford NY 8 July 2008 I love chainmailling and am interested in using nobium with other metals (copper, silver, etc.) I like the Japanese snowflake, the Byzantine, and Harlequin patterns. –– Nancy Luts, Madison, NJ 7 July 2008 I love your site! The fact that you have quality anodized aluminum jump rings at such affordable prices is a miracle in and of itself. I'm a chain-mailer, and am really just getting started with creating my own designs, so having a site like yours where I can find my supplies readily available is really fantastic. Keep up the good work! –– John Ferra, Laveen, AZ 7 July 2008 Very happy to have stumbled upon your site - it's informative, user-friendly and has some beautiful designs in the gallery. My order arrived today and I was impressed with both the speed of delivery and the quality of the rings. Oh and thank you for the complimentary rings included – a pleasant surprise! –– Vanessa Edwards, Adelaide, Australia 6 July 2008 Hi BBB, I met you in Milwaukee!!!! You have great stuff :) I can't wait to see more!!!!! –– Jan (Jan's Bead Palace), Aurora IL 6 July 2008 I really love your site. I got a lot of ideas from it. Your do great work. I hope to get there some day. My first project was a dragonscale bracer for my husband, which turned out great considering I had never made anything like it before. Now I am really getting into the chainmaille and I am going to start making pieces to sell. Even my 4 year old daughter is wearing a practice braclet I made. It is very time consuming so I just try to have fun with it, I hope everyone else who works in this does the same thing. Good luck to everyone. –– Catrina, Las Vegas NV Rebeca replies: Wow! Props to you; I can't even image doing a dragonscale as a first project. Way to go! 2 July 2008 I love shopping this site for supplies and ideas for jewelry making! My items always arrive soooo quickly. Thanks for being such great enablers :-) –– Allison, Mooresville, NC 30 June 2008 I just found chainmail jewelry this weekend, and I can't WAIT to make some of my own! From what I see, your kits and supplies will get me started off just perfectly! Thank you! –– Glenys, Eagle River, AK 23 June 2008 I met with you at the Bead&Button Show and enjoyed talking to you and bought some product from you. I hope to get going on the jumprings very soon. Thank you for your help. –– Carolyn Eland, Green Bay WI 19 June 2008 I'm really enjoying browsing your site. You are very talented! –– Marianne Johnson, Mankato, MN 18 June 2008 Thanks for the speedy service!! Awesome! –– Carolyn, Tomball, TX 18 June 2008 I'm new to mailing and just found your site a few days ago. I love it. I already placed an order for some colored rings. I can't wait until they arrive. –– Lori Pilla, Westford, MA 16 June 2008 Met you at the B&B show the other week, and bought a kit (Celtic Vision). Love your stuff! –– Lori, Aurora, OH 9 June 2008 I saw you at the Bead & Button show and was immediately impressed. I bought instructions for several of your designs. I haven't had a chance to make anything yet, but the instructions look very clear and the pictures are great. I'm looking forward to making these pieces and will definitely be coming back to your site for more! –– Renee Goodwin, Raleigh, NC 6 June 2008 I have ordered from this site twice and been amazed at the speed that my orders get here, that and I just love the rings I get. I am relatively new to chain mail but have been around long enough to be able to do the basic weaves and consider myself thoroughly addicted. Thanks again. –– Rebecca Powell, Maple Valley, WA 3 June 2008 I have gotten into chainmail quite recently and am hooked. My sons have the only mom that makes them chainmail cuffs and other cool items! –– Michelle Gordon, Calgary, Alberta, Canada 27 May 2008 I have ordered twice from you and the rings were wonderful and the instructions clear. Thanks for providing great service and products. –– Deb Sarchet, Millersburg, OH 20 May 2008 I found you on the web and just received my first order which was placed on Thursday (received on Monday).

I love learning new crafts. –– Becky A. Brefol, Cincinnati, OH 10 May 2008 Just found your site from a link in the LE forum!! Great!! I have just taught myself maille, and I love it!!

Thanks for being here. –– Pat F, Reedville, VA 1 May 2008 I really enjoy your website; it's the very best I've come across & trust me I've been looking hard & long, all winter in fact. –– Carol, Limousin, France 22 April 2008 Hi, just to let you know that my order arrived safely this morning and I can't wait to get started on my projects. I think your website is fab, its a shame there is nothing similar in the UK. Happy mailing! –– Vikki, Birmingham, UK 14 April 2008 What a fantastic web site! I've been looking at all the chain maille sites out there, and the beginning kits offered are a bit on the pricey side. Thank you so much for offering a couple of basic patterns for free so that I can check this out and see if I really like it and can do it before investing a lot of $$$. I've downloaded the 'wiggle' and can't wait to give it a try. –– Melissa 13 April 2008 Love you guys, the ideas, the rings and the service. The rings are awesome, did I mention that? :) You are my one and only for rings! Finally a place I can understand (being blonde having nothing to do with it!) and your website is easy to navigate. Keep it up! –– Cyndi Russell, Janesville, WI 24 March 2008 I love your site! I have recently taken up trying my hand at chainmaille and am already hooked.

Can't wait to explore some more when I have time! –– Anna Harmanson, Kingsley IA 11 March 2008 I'm looking forward to receiving your newsletters. Your maille designs are original and unique. I've ordered two of them so far. Can't wait to try them. –– Elizabeth Calafiore, Palm Desert CA 7 March 2008 I received my order. I am impressed with the way you package your kit directions!! Thanks so much for going a set beyond to help me keep everything organized. I love my bulls-eye earrings I was able to create with your precise directions. I am very happy with your products! –– Sukey Rankin, Hagerstown, MD 22 February 2008 I just wanted to tell you how very pleased I am with your service and the quality of your product.

I got it on my first try! And my cat promptly claimed it as her very own, so it looks like I'll have to make another one for myself! –– Hayley E, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada 11 November 2007 Your work is gorgeous and your website is phenominal. I am just breaking into weaving and I was able to decipher (I think) which rings to buy and patterns to print from your site. Trust me, I have spent countless hours searching other sites. What a surprise to get my rings already, it has made my weekend. Thanks for loving what you do!! –– Patti Copps, Baltimore, MD 1 November 2007 Your jewelry looks great and it is different. ––Marge Love, Wheeling, IL 16 October 2007 I took the intro class earlier this month and I loved it.

But I am having a hard time finding the tools to make the rings, and the different patterns. I have learned bird cage, box, flat box, & persian. I look foward to buying many items from you (I luv the colored rings) to create my chainmaille. Thx. –– Brandie, Sydenham, ON Canada Rebeca replies: If you have questions before you place an order, just let me know. I'm happy to help you with any information I can. I know it can be confusing, with all the ring sizes and weave possibilities out there! 15 August 2007 Just a quick note to let you know the rings arrived yesterday. WOW that was quick...and they will be perfect. Thank you for a great product and wonderful customer service. –– Laurie B, Bremerton WA 15 August 2007 Awesome customer service! Speedy shipping! I just wanted to drop a quick note to compliment you on not only the quality of your rings but how quickly you fill the orders. I have ordered from you several times and I can count on a package arriving at my house within three days of my orders! It is always good to know that once I get an idea I can get the supplies and start working in a couple of days. Thank you! –– Susan P, Sterling VA 10 August 2007 I received my order yesterday - wow, that was super fast! I am very excited because I am going to be making my first Byzantine bracelet. I wanted to thank you for the exceptional service and the free sample! And your web site is amazingly helpful and informative - FAR BETTER than any of the other chain maille sites! Have a wonderful weekend! –– Michelle P, Stamford CT 13 July 2007 I just wanted to say 'WOW!' I took the beginning chainmaille class the other evening at Caravan Beads and loved it! It was so much fun. I immediately went home and went online and ordered chainmaille supplies. In literally less than 24 hours, I received my order. I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic customer service and the promptness of completing my order. Thank so much and I look forward to taking more classes and ordering more supplies! –– Pamela, Chicago IL 1 July 2007 I just wanted to thank you for the stellar service.

Your service is excellent and the products arrive so quickly. –– Dorothy S, Redmond WA 30 June 2007 Rebeca, thanks again for the great classes at Bead&Button! This was my first try at chain maille, and you made it very easy and simple to learn. I have already sold a bracelet since returning. can't wait to make more! Thanks again! –– Leigh Beaumont, Metairie LA 19 June 2007 Great fast service and awesome kits. Wish I could have been at the Bead and Button Show so that I could have met you personally... Thanks again for such fast service and your great instructions. –– Linda H, Garland TX 7 May 2007 I am so glad I found your site! I ordered rings on a Thursday and found them waiting for me in mymailbox on Monday! WOW....that is some great customer service!!! You have found a customer in me. Thanks so much!!!! –– Karen, East Pittsburgh PA 16 March 2007 Your instructions are so clear and well-photographed that I could make beautiful chainmaille jewelry the first shot at it! I do believe I have been to every chain maille site there is out there, and I always come back to yours, cause it's like coming home. –– Nancy Sherman, Sparks NV 15 March 2007 The Maru was only my second attempt at chainmaille, the first being the Bulls-Eye earrings that I purchased from you also. I just love your kits; they are so clear and easy to follow. Can't wait for my order to get here. I am obsessed with this, as is my daughter. –– Jean F, Chicago IL 22 Feb 2007 Your rings are beautifully made and a joy to work with. The instructions I ordered were very clear, well thought out and easy to follow. Can't wait for the color rings to be available. Keep up the amazing work. –– Donna, Boulder CO 10 Feb 2007 Hi, I love your work, and you have a great website. I'd like to get down to IL for a class some day, too. Or, maybe you'd come to Madison some day! –– Nancy Stoebig, Madison WI Rebeca replies: I'd love to travel to other states for workshops. If you know of a good location to host a class, please let me know. (Plus, I'd love to go to WI as my Packers-mania isn't always well-received in Chicago, for, er, good reason. *wink*) 25 Jan 2007 Just wanted to drop a note to say how pleased (and amazed) I've been with the speediness of my orders. I also wanted to let you know that your bracelet kits, which I ordered previously, are great—meticulously packaged, clearly labeled, and with ample extra rings to accommadate klutzy beginners. The designs are also exceptional. I particularly like the way you use smaller rings at the ends for a more finished look. –– Elisa Eiger, Montville NJ 18 Jan 2007 WOW...I am glad I found your site. –– Ryan Montgomery, Woodstock IL 8 Jan 2007 I got the earrings promptly when you sent them, and have been enjoying those and the other earrings I purchased at the DIY trunk show tremendously!

Love the great response time and customer service! Thank you. –– Kathy Simmons, Seattle WA 26 Oct 2006 Love your website. –– Nancy, Sante Fe Springs CA 05 Oct 2006 Do you have any plans to make a kit for the Ripple necklace? It's definitely the boxchain weave, but soooooo much better. –– Marcia Gilbert, Noord, Aruba Rebeca's update 15 Feb 2007: Great suggestion! I've been working on kits in a few metals, and will get them posted soon. (Computer woes held me up, otherwise they would have been posted already!) 23 Sept 2006 The information on aspect ratio and ring sizing, inches mm etc is the best I've found. With it, I've finally got a grip on aspect ratio. Thanks so much. –– Karen Tande, Plover WI |
