Persian Dragonscale
Overview
While trawling M.A.I.L. for a new weave to try out, I came across Persian Dragonscale by lorenzo. This member of the European family is a fun combination of European 4-in-1 and Half Persian 3-in-1. If you want to make it yourself, I found this tutorial by ChaosSeraphim very helpful.
Materials
For the sample piece showcased in this post, I made the rings myself. I used 16 SWG Bright Aluminum wire from The Ring Lord coiled around an 8mm mandrel (for an approximate ID of 8mm) for an approximate AR of 4.9.
Notes
Persian Dragonscale is a weave characterized by simplicity in understanding its structure and ease in the creation process. Its aesthetic appeal adds to its overall charm, providing a visually pleasing result. The rectangular cross-section of the weave makes it versatile, making it suitable for crafting bracelets and chokers. Moreover, the weave’s width allows for its application as a band or strap, especially when made with the appropriate materials. Given these attributes, I highly recommend learning the Persian Dragonscale weave.
