Classical Loop-in-loop Chains and Their Derivatives

This is a guide to the making of one of the most basic jewellery items - the chain, providing step-by-step instructions on how to make them based on ancient loop-in-loop techniques.

There are explanations on how to create contemporary derivatives and how to individualise them. The authors specify equipment and tools needed, give estimates of the amounts of material required and discuss the most appropriate types of clasps for each chain.
