Full Persian 6 in 1 Tutorial

1. Required Tools and Materials

For this tutorial you will need:

  • rings with an aspect ratio (AR = inside diameter – ID divided by the wire diameter – WD) of ~ 5.5 and up
  • two pairs of pliers without teeth

I used rings with a wire diameter of 0.90 mm and an inner diameter of 5.10 mm.

2. Step by Step Process

Put 4 closed rings into one opened ring:

 

Close the ring and add another ring near him, going through the 4 rings:

Arrange them into a 2-2-2 chain:

Spread the rightmost 2 rings apart, as in the picture:

Pass an opened ring through the rings you’ve just unfold, going above the middle links and through through the leftmost ones. And close it :

      

Flip the piece over, on the other side, and add another ring, going the same as before:

Now spread the rightmost rings and slide another one in between them, through the “V” ones:

Add another ring near the last one, repeating the step:

Pass a ring through the last ones and through the “V” links:

Flip over the piece, on the other side, and repeat the step:

Again you spread the rightmost rings and slide 2 more rings in between them:

 And the steps that follows, on each side:

      

Consider the spreading and adding step, followed by the rings on each side, as a cycle. And continue to repeat it:

3. Conclusion

Here is a fine silver full persian bracelet:

Half Persian 3 in 1 Tutorial

1. Required Tools and Materials

For this tutorial you will need:

  • rings with an aspect ratio (AR = inside diameter – ID divided by the wire diameter – WD) of at least 4
  • two pairs of pliers without teeth

I will show two ways for the making of this weave, so you may choose the most facile one for you. Also I will use two different size rings, for a loose sheet (WR= 1.68 mm and ID= 8.30 mm) and a tight one (WR= 1.52 mm and ID= 6.25 mm).

2. Step by Step Process

2.1 Facing left Pattern

Put 2 closed rings in one opened ring. Close the ring and arrange the 2 other rings as in the picture (lying on top of each other, from left to right):

We will name the ring that have 2 rings in it, the little boss, and the other rings, the underlings.

Now pass an opened ring through the underlings, going above the little boss:

Add a closed ring to it, so you will have 3 in 1 (the one being the boss) and close it. Make sure the new underling is under the others:

      

Add a closed ring into an opened one and pass them through the last 2 underlings. Close the link and arrange them as in the picture – boss above boss and underling under underlings (the rule):

     

 

Repeat the step:

After a while…

The model gas two faces. If you are doing a tight piece, it will bend only with this face.

2.2 Facing right Pattern

Close 2 rings and put them into one opened ring. Close the ring and arrange them as in the picture (the underlings on top of each other, from left to right):

Put a closed ring in an opened ring and pass through the underlings. Close the link and arrange them by the rule:

      

 

Repeat the step:

      

 

After a while…

If you have some rebels rings at the beginning of the sheet, you may want to remove and add a smaller ring for the  clasp (in case you are making a bracelet or a necklace). The result will be a nice pattern:

And the bending face:

3. Conclusion

Here is a silver half persian 3 in 1 bracelet (WR=0,67 and ID is 3,37) with two faces:
