I made this Mythril Chainmaille bracelet from 22 gauge Sterling Silver wire. I wrap the raw wire around a rod, cut that coil into circles with a jewelers saw, open them up using two pairs of pliers, put each one into place, close them using two pairs of pliers, and than to make sure my work will last a lifetime I weld each one closed before moving to the next. This beauty has exactly 1,570 links in it and it weighs just over two ounces. Oh and I make and weld the clasps myself. Look how pretty!!
