Some people find chain maille jewelry underwhelming especially those who love color in their jewelry designs.  One way to beef up the color element is to use colored metal rings. The other way is to introduce beads.


Check out the free X Factor bracelet tutorial by Cindy Pankopf which does exactly that - marry beads with jump rings. The added beads make the bracelet more substantial looking, don't they?

The project is from her book Beadmaille: Jewelry with Bead Weaving and Metal Rings (Lark Jewelry Books).
