You mis-aprehend, they (The SCA armorers) can give you patterns, and instruct you in the doing thereof. It isn't hard at all, merely time-consuming. What type material were you planning to use? I would advise against anything other than copper, and I advise against using anythinmg other than stainless steel, as regular steel will rust, copper will leave a greenish stain on skin, and silver is a bit too soft for use in this application. Just type "Chain-mail jewelry patterns" into your googlr engine and go for it. The tools you'll beed wil be a pair of wire cutters, a mandrel to shape your rings on, and needle-nose pliers to bend the wire with. Yup, been there, done that.
