I haven't worked with chainmail in awhile, and I ordered some recently to make some FMP themed charm bracelets. So far I have 3 of 5 orders put in from others willing to buy 'em for $10 (without charms). The links I have right now are titanium, which is hard to work with, and the edges are brittle and chip which makes it difficult/impossible to make a full closure on all of the links, which is why I sell them for $10 no matter the length, and in spite of it taking about 3~4 hours to make one bracelet (which is mostly because of the hardness, it wouldn't usually take that long, but it fights back)
If there winds up being enough/consistent enough interest, I may buy more expensive, but easier to work with and prettier rings (niobium) and in more colors/sizes so I can do more fandoms or character themes and more varied weaves.
The bracelet is plain titanium and anodized blue titanium to represent Mithril's colors. My bracelet has a bullet and gun to represent Sousuke, a wing to represent Kaname (Angel) and Mithril (the wings on the sword in the coat of arms), and a shipwheel and anchor for the TDD.
I have lapis lazuli beads and a swarovski crystal bead that I need wire for before I can attach them to the bracelet. The lapis lazuli is for Sousuke's bday gift to Kaname, and the crystal is to represent the lambda driver, because of its colors and its name (Vitrail Light - Lambda is used to measure wavelength, aka light)
I plan to take better pictures, but for now, these are what I have
Also, more info on the bracelets themselves can be found here.
