Jade aka Caryn says:they look great. I just learned this weave. I must be using the wrong size ring because mine it too airy,

Arja A says:It’s amazing that copper, finally, looks and shines like gold! Jade, byzantine weave must be woven from quite small jumprings. I used 17g wire, ID of jumpring is 4.5mm and could be even smaller.
