Making the Project
The inspiration for the design of the chain is based upon a chain design that is hundreds and perhaps thousands of years old. The original design was based upon soldering individual links and then connecting them. The original chain has been named the "Money Chain" in Oscar T. Banson's book "Indian Jewelry Making Chain". It was called money chain, because the individual links could be removed and used as money. That money chain required making oval links of wire and soldering the two ends of the wire together. This chain is a variation of that Money Chain that does not require soldering. You can view a close up of two versions of the chain below. We will provide instructions for making both versions of this jewelry wire chain.
