Japanese weave chainmaille bracelets, earrings and necklaces

The Japanese weaves are, as I understand it, derived from ancient Japanese armour-making techniques. Today they make a dense, flexible weave that feels incredibly comfortable on your wrist or neck, while making decorative, distinctive earrings.

The main style of this weave that I use is a Japanese 12-in-2 weave. Some examples of my work follow.
