Chainmail measurements
Most of what you'll find out there is ½ inch inner diameter or very close to it. All of our items are 16ga. to ¼ in or smaller except where not technically feasible (8 in 1 pattern and others as noted). Wire is measured in gauges (i.e. 20 gauge is 1/20 of an inch, 1 gauge is 1 inch ect.). An inner diameter is the diameter of the inside of the link. This is equal to the size of rod used to spin the wire. So if you use 14 gauge wire (1/14 of an inch) on a ½ inch rod (2 gauge wire ha ha) you've got 14ga. to ½ .
