    Helen, I make both soldered and not soldered chain, but I've never h=
    ad the desire to use oval inks. I suppose it has it's own kind of
    unique look, on the other hand, there are many ways to vary the
    byzantine weave, using round links, with different metals and ring
    sizes. One of my better sellers would be 18ga wire links (1.02mm),
    with a 3.2mm ID. Makes a very nice, tight, but still very flexible
    Byzantine chain. There is a site that deals with Maille, but also has
    a huge library of tutorials for making different chain weaves. You'll
    find Byzantine, Persian and oriental weaves and an impressive amount
    of variations.

    Be careful, it's addicting.......
