Classic Chain Mail Jewelry
p. 12 - The tip regarding "Aspect Ratio" on this page should read: "The aspect ratio (AR) represents the relationship between the wire diameter (thickness, or gauge) and the inner diameter (ID) of a particular size jump ring. If you know the gauge and ID of a ring that works well in a weave, you can use the aspect ratio calculation to change to another size ring that will also work well in the weave. This allows you to make larger and smaller versions of jewelry in the same weave. To calculate aspect ratio, take the ring ID divided by wire diameter (in mm)."
See the PDF below for a chart of jump ring gauges and inner diameters, created for your reference when making projects out of this book.

Mixed Metal Mania

Add about 1 in. and cut five pieces of 16-gauge wire to that length. (Example: a size 7 ring requires 2¼ in. of wire. Add 2¼ in.+1 in. = 3¼-in. length of wire x 5 pieces = total wire needed.) Keep in mind that the overlap length is a variable that you can decide on."
