Description This chainmaille necklace is a tip of the hat to all graphic designers, printers, web developers, color lovers, and anyone who knows what CMYK stands for, prior to me telling you. It's Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). As to what it actually means, Wikipedia says "The CMYK color model, referred to as process color or four color, is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, also used to describe the printing process itself."

I've gone through my rings, and found the closest color matchups I could find given my source materials for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Of course they're not perfect, nor are they an exact match for the actual colors, but they are as close as I can get. You get the gist of the color scheme though. Each colorful ring orbits around the black ones, not quite directly connected to any black ring.

The necklace was woven ring by ring, one at a time in the RSD weave of chainmaille. It measures 17.25 inches long, and is .3 inches wide. It closes with a silver plated magnetic clasp.

PS Sorry the pic is a bit dark in the middle. There are others in the link below if you'd like more detailed views.

Nice, but should have gone two ring for each in my vastly inferior opinion. It tightens the weave just a little bit, unless you wanted the slightly loose appearance.

Yeah, I'm about done with barrels. Made way too much of it.
