Monthly Challenge- Chainmaking
Our October challenge was to experiment with chainmaking. This month didn't need to be a finished product but we do have two gorgeous bracelets that were completed. Chainmaking is such an intriguing challenge, there is so much that can be done. Enjoy and I hope we have inspired you to make some chain of your own.
Laura Bouton
This is a handmade curb chain with a little turquoise heart. Chain making is one of my favorite techniques.
Elise Worman
The photo is of a few sample pieces with different finishes on two different chain types I made. The double U shape sideways is a cast element from a wax I carved. I've been wanting to make this bracelet for a while, so thanks for this challenge! The second is hammered silver circles soldered together to make a unique statement chain with so many possibilities. Great challenge!
Cynthia Kurth
I am very fascinated by chain weaving, it's so great what structures are made of wire. The second pic is a great sampler of multiple chain types.
Debbie Ritchie
Andrea Ring
I tried to make some chains that would match earring designs I've been working on lately.
Michele Grady
This is actually 2 chains that are connected together at the moment. They can be worn as 1 long chain or as 2 individual shorter chains.

March monthly Challenge-Cocktail Ring
For our March monthly challenge we made "Cocktail Rings" and I can tell that everyone had fun with this one!!
Kirsten Denbow
Dendritic opal with opals.
Cynthia Kurth
Blue Topaz in sterling silver.
Beth Cyr
It features a beautiful piece of Gary Green Jasper, a rough green sapphire set in 18k yellow gold and a teal colored diamond flush set in to the sterling tree bark textured element.The elements all work together to create a lovely harmony. Not your everyday ring, but definitely something special.
Elise Worman
Forged sterling silver fork tines with labradorite, green flash.
Nina Gibson
This lapis ring was made during a recent workshop taught by Joanna Gollberg on the Smith little torch. The ring band is hollow, made with a ring bender. And the lapis is a large, straight edged cab. It was a great workshop and my tool wish list is much larger now!
Anna Severina Fell
Druzy and sterling cocktail ring.
Leslie Zemenek
Pierced silver luna agate cocktail ring.
Suzy Louise
Su Trindle
Curvy geomtric shapes and forms recur frequently in my work but I love the way this new stripes design changes the dynamic. These Graphico stripes rings are in the 'new@devonguild' exhibition which runs until 30th April at The Devon Guild in Bovey Tracey, here in the UK.
Debbie Ritchie
Sterling silver with prehnite and four peridot.
Evelyn Markasky
Dangerous cocktail ring - forged, formed, and torch fired enamel on a silver band.

February tiny charm. I had so much fun with this one! I made a couple. Tiny bird nest with blue egg is my favorite.
Nina Gibson Designs
Tiny Charm Bangle. A dozen charms, all under 1/2 inch, slide around a simple silver bangle. The charms are all made using stamps from my collection of handmade Navajo tools.
Schmuckburg
I have to do three at a time - not sure why. But I think one is not faster.
Anyway, you like to believe that small things get done faster. But the opposite is often the case.
And you have to use such small tools. Or you can hardly hold the piece of jewelry.
That was a great challenge! I love the etsy metal team for that!
Sterling Silver, 18 ct Gold, peridot, rhodochrosite, lapis lazuli
