This is the Byzantine necklace in the smallest weave (20-3).

The 20-3 refers to the size of rings used to weave the chain maille pattern. The wire gauge is 20, and the jump ring diameter is 3 mm. The 20-3 is the smallest, densest weave.

The width of this weave is 4.5 mm

We hand cut our own jump rings for assured quality of Argentium silver. Then we hand make each bracelet using pliers and lots of patience, precision and time.
