In this photo, you can see 3 very different JPLs I have done:
The top chain was made with 16g gold-filled (round) rings, the middle one with 18g bronze rings cut from square wire, and the bottom one is a tricolor chain in 20g rings (copper, gold-filled, and sterling),
This is another photo of the 20g tricolor JPL:
I enjoy working with color so much that I made another 20g tricolor JPL to compliment the chain-bezelled raku cabochon now available in my Etsy shop.
I chose turquoise, blue, and burgundy rings for this chain; they pull out the gorgeous colors in the raku cab.
Here's a guided tour of the creation of the 18g bronze square JPL:
Getting started: big pile of rings, and a clasp.
The weave is established, and now I just have to keep it going until I reach the finished length:
Halfway done!
Finished:
Detail of finished weave:
I believe this square version of the JPL would make a great bracelet for a man - particularly if stepped up to 16g square rings.
