Mild Steel Loose Chainmail Rings, Butted Round Rings, 10 mm 16 gauge

Description

Bring authenticity and craftsmanship to your armor projects with this 1 kg pack of 10 mm, 16-gauge mild steel butted chainmail rings. Designed for building or restoring chainmail, these rings are expertly formed, slightly overlapped, and cut from strong yet flexible mild steel, perfect for assembling hauberks, coifs, aventails, skirts, or other decorative creations.

Favored by enthusiasts, LARP participants, and armor makers, these butted rings combine historical accuracy with ease of use. Their open, non-riveted design allows fast and reliable linkage, making them a practical choice for crafting lightweight or display-grade mail armor.

Choose between two traditional finishes to suit your preferred look and level of maintenance:

• Zinc-Plated (ZP): Features a clean, silvery shine with excellent rust protection, requiring no oiling or upkeep. Ideal for humid conditions and long-term storage, this finish ensures your rings remain bright and corrosion-free.

• Black Polish: Displays a deep, aged patina that captures the authentic look of medieval chainmail. To preserve its dark tone and prevent oxidation, apply a light oil coat from time to time — perfect for enthusiasts seeking a vintage, battle-worn appearance.

Each ring is handcrafted for accuracy and durability, ensuring consistent size, shape, and compatibility with other 10 mm chainmail components. Whether you’re repairing historical armor or creating custom pieces, these rings deliver both aesthetic appeal and dependable performance.

Care Instructions

• Zinc-Plated Finish: Wipe with a dry cloth after use and no oiling required.

• Black Polish Finish: Lightly oil periodically to prevent rust and maintain its dark finish. Store in a cool, dry location.
