Instructions:
Before you begin, measure your wrist to determine the desired finished length of your bracelet. This bracelet looks nice with a snug fit, so I made the bracelet to my exact wrist measurement, and then the clasp added about 1/2".
- Watch the instructional video: . This video will demonstrate the dragonscale weave that you will use to make this bracelet.
-
Using silver plated 18 gauge chain maille rings with an inner diameter of 15/64" and brass 20 gauge chain maille rings with an inner diameter of 9/64", make a length of dragonscale chain maille that is four large rings wide and about the same length as your wrist measurement, with both ends tapered down to one ring.
-
Use one of the brass rings to attach both rings from one end of the bracelet to half of a silver plated magnetic clasp. Use another brass ring to attach both rings from the other end to the other half of the magnetic clasp.

Variations
Play with the different finishes available in chain maille rings. Dragonscale is interesting with two different colors of rings, like the ones used here. When substituting in items, pay attention to sizes and styles to make sure all your pieces will fit together.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
