I have had problems of sagging with my chainmail necklaces if they are too long and the chainmail mesh does not hold in tension. I have thought about doing something with wire on the top row of rings, but most wire I use will bend permanently. Using memory wire gives me ideas to explore. Thanks.

Nancy, that is pure inspirational genius! Everyone has pieces of memory wire….and yes, the weight makes me usually try to thread them on wire but memory wire keeps it’s “curl”….lovely! thank you!

Nancy, what a great inspiration! And great to have a wire that won’t sag under the weight of those fabulous crystals – and you can make the necklace lay the way you want it to. It’s a much nicer look.
