the silvered rings are 18ga 1/8"
the new rings ive ordered are 18ga 5/32"
i also got some 18ga 3/16" from the ringlord
i found the AR for the 3/16" led to a very loose weave thats why there are 3 rings in the byzantine bracelet instead of 2

ive ordered som 16ga 5/16 and 20ga 5/36 as well, hoping this will give enough of a mix up so i can make some of the weaves that rquire mroe then one ring size

alright archer, ive got a load of yellow and white links, not to mention green and black, so i can get cracking on those bracelets / necklaces if your still keen! just lemme know which of the colours you prefer for what, and sizes, and ill get them pumped out in no time!
that way, once i have the boars tusk, ill be able to just add them on and send them back to you

Yup, definately still interested. Will get the Tusks on the way to you next week.
Yes all necklasses, will put the tusks on the three Black and Yellow. the three Green and White plain. Will put the measurements in with the Tusks.
Will stay with the Box design. Will get in touch next year for bracelets, probably same colours. May also take some more Necklasses if my wife and other daughter like them.
Once again cheers
Graham

Hi
Sorry I haven't been back to you but have been head down bum up, at work and organising various events for Sable Hart.
Anyway if you make them all about 18" long that will be good. I cant find the boar tusks, [here somewhere] will look them out over Christmas, and then return the relevent ones to you to add on if that is OK.
I had another thought as well, may use my green and white one to add my NAAMA medalions on.
Graham
