(May2016)<span style="font-size: large;">Did you know that "<i>Did You Know</i>" will be a series of blogs about chainmaille? I attempted this blog series several years ago. I posted a couple of blogs and then got so busy creating, writing and inventing that I stopped writing the series. My plan is to write about what I found helpful and fascinating about my chainmaille journey. Such things as how chainmaille got it's start, how chainmaille had developed into jewelry today, how to determine what size jump rings you need for different weaves, how to calculate aspect ratio. Some articles may be lengthy but most will be short and to the point.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I very much welcome feedback and comments about my articles/blogs. This will enable me to talk about what you want to know about chainmaille.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The articles/blogs will be published here every other month (hopefully).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This will also be a way to answer the many questions I receive about my chainmaille and chainmaille in general. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you will enjoy this series and will share it with your friends and neighbors!</span>The ChainMaille Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13114264887692019866noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759708335493625657.post-29345638146470609662015-12-31T23:49:00.002-08:002016-05-16T20:53:10.022-07:00<h2 style="text-align: center;">

Wyatt White, also a member of the Beadalon Design Team, was a guest as well. Tennessee is such a gorgeous state! I marvel over just how green it is.<br />
<br />
In this shot Kim is wearing 5 inch platform shoes and I am on flats so Kim had to scrunch down! <br />

The extreamly talented and indispensible Christian Ross is some of my designs to the table for the next shots. I'm feverishly trying to open & close jump rings before the camera comes back to us.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Did you know that there are two main wire gauge measurements that we use in the United States?</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><b> </b> </span>The first wire gauge measurement is the “Standard Wire Gauge” or SWG.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The SWG is primarily used for industrial metals such as aluminum, steel, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second, and the measurement used for making the Artistic Wire<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">®</span> Chain Maille Jump Rings is the “American Wire Gauge” or AWG, also referred to “Brown & Sharpe”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The AWG is the primary gauge system for nonferrous metals or precious metals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And to confuse you further the larger the gauge number the smaller the wire diameter!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Why is this important you ask?</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The SWG wire measurements tend to run smaller than the AWG wire measurement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Say the instructions call for your jump rings to be 18 AWG and you purchase 18 SWG rings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will find more likely than not that the SWG rings will actually be a smaller wire diameter than the AWG even though they are both 18 gauge rings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This means that the SWG rings may be too small for the chainmaille pattern to work.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/" name="top"></a>Another term thrown around in chainmaille is Aspect Ratio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>What the heck is that?</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><b> </b> </span>Well, quite simply it is the way of describing how thick or thin a jump ring is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Technically the AR is equal to the inner diameter of the ring divided by the wire diameter of the ring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are a beginner, I wouldn’t worry about AR at this juncture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most chainmaille instructions that you purchase or find for free on the Internet will tell you what size jump rings you should use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Jump ring mandrel sizes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To make a jump ring the raw wire is wrapped around what is called a mandrel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mandrels come in two basic measurements for chainmaille, inches and millimeters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may have noticed on the Artistic Wire<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">®</span> Chain Maille Jump Rings packaging that the jump rings are listed by wire gauge (18Ga) and then in inches (9/64”), then in millimeters (3.57mm).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is because instruction writers will list their jump rings in either inches, millimeters, or if you’re really lucky both!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some creative chainmaillers use aluminum knitting needles or wooden dowels as mandrels.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>And the final fun fact about jump rings is that they can “fly”!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just try holding the jump ring in your pliers to tightly and you will see what I mean!</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
