Tips and Considerations

• When choosing a ring size, consider the type of chain maille you are making. For example, a smaller ring size may be more suitable for a delicate, intricate design, while a larger ring size may be more suitable for a bold, statement piece.
• Keep in mind that chain maille rings can be adjusted slightly by bending or shaping them, so you may be able to get away with a slightly smaller or larger ring size than you initially thought.
• If you are new to chain maille, it's a good idea to start with a smaller ring size and work your way up as you gain experience and confidence in your crafting skills.
