Half-Persian 4 in 1
Half-Persian 4 in 1 is considered amongst one of the most difficult of the chainmaille weaves. The metal has to be coaxed and if every ring is not contained just right in conjunction with the other 4 rings it is contacting then it becomes an unintelligle mess with no hope of salvation. This weave has a very bulky but refined feel to it; its a thick and solid chain that lays flat upon the wearer.
This weave requires a larger style ring then most of the other weaves at Jmaille Leather & Fine Art so it is a little bulkier. It is available in Surgical Grade 16 gauge 5/16" ID or 18 gauge 1/4" ID. It is also available in Silica Grade Bronze with 5/16" ID.
**New: Also available, Bronze and Stainless 5/16" ID! The two metals contrast in a nice seperation and divergance! Its quite visually pleasing.
To measure your wrist for the clasped variant of this bracelet, I recommend finding the circumference around your natural wrist. Feel along your arm until you feel the lumps where your forearm bones meet your wrist bones. Measure the exact distance around your wrist at that point and then add between 1/4" and 1/2" depending on your preferences in how loose or tight you prefer your jewelry.
To find the size of bracelet you need for the seamless variant, hold your hand so the circumference around your hand is the smallest you can get. Imagine you are reaching into a cookie jar; that is the posture you need your hand to be in. Measure the widest part and subtract 1/4" and that is the size you will need. Understand, this bracelet should be sized so that when you put your hand down and relax it does not slide off. When sliding it on, you should be able to pull it over your hand with a bit of a squeeze.
