Jewelry Tutorial - Chainmaille Bracelet with Beads

I really love Chainmaille. I have seen these bracelets with the beads within the chainmaille design and have wanted to learn how to make them for a long time and then I came across Irina's Blog Irina's Cute Box, and found an excellent tutorial!  I made one and mine will be shown at the bottom.  Also, I will add in a couple of steps too to make it a bit easier - OK, here it goes:

Chain maille bracelet with pearls

You need a lot of silver jump rings (18 ga, half hard). The rings have to be a little bit bigger than beads - but not too much bigger.  **I would recommend making sure you have at least 5 jump rings open and ready to go at a time.

To make first bracelet link, connected 4 rings as it shown on the picture.

Then keeping them in fingers fingers as shown on the image below, I "opened" the rings forming them in a shape of nest. Places a pearl bead inside the nest.

Then, closed upper rings like it shown on the picture...

... and connected them with two more jump rings.   This rings are starting next chain maille bracelet link.  **You will also need another jump ring on the bottom two rings or your pearl will fall out.

Again... opened rings to make a nest, placed a bead inside.

Closed the rings and connected with more jump rings.

And so on until the bracelet is needed length. In the end, I attached a clasp, and the bracelet is ready to wear :)

Here is the bracelet I made with 10mm beads and 12mm jump rings:
