Just finished a 30 inch "knot" chain in sterling silver. These work up very quickly and are fun to make. I sold this one to a woman who admired the one I was wearing. (Note to self: Wear more jewelry!) After you've finished the chain, throw it in a tumbler filled with stainless steel shot. (Harbor Freight has a cheap one--that I've heard positive things about.) It will both deburr any snaggy ends and work harden the wire. I used 18g wire cut into various lengths.
