Rondo à la Byzantine

I'm still on a chain maille kick and, this time, I went for a hefty necklace.


This necklace combines helm and byzantine and makes a wonderful statement necklace.

I'm not sure if you can tell, but this version uses brass and copper rings.


The difference is subtle, but I love the earthy look.

It is a bit weighty, due to the metal rings.  An aluminum version would be lighter and look amazing.

The pattern is in Rebeca Mojica's book, Chained.
