Kinged Vipera Berus (KVB) is the kinged version of Vipera Berus. The term "kinged" means that every ring is doubled. Like Vipera Berus, KVB lends itself to using 2 complementary colors or materials. It is also somewhat flat and works well for jewelry items. KVB is a beginner weave, but because of the doubled rings you may need pliers with smaller jaws to get into tighter spaces.
There are way too many combinations of colors, materials and sizes for us to offer them all as kits. We have pre-selected some materials and sizes below.
For beginners we recommend purchasing a kit to learn the weave. Then if you like, you can add more materials, other colors and elements to spice up your pieces.
You may have leftover rings from a kit. Use them to make a set of matching earrings! Earring findings can be found here: Earring findings

- Bracelets, 6 - 8"
- Anklets, 10 - 12"

The following chart and information is intended as a comprehensive resource for Kinged Vipera Berus. If you are trying to cross reference sizes from instructions like a book - Make sure to use millimeters not gauge! There are 2 gauge systems and this makes using gauge confusing unless you know what the instructions use. Both gauges are listed below.
Also note the mm size for ID is approximate. The actual ring size will be close enough - so no worries if its not exactly what is shown.
Like all weaves, Kinged Vipera Berus looks best when made with rings of the correct size. The perfect Kinged Vipera Berus is close to (but not less than) an Aspect Ratio (AR) of 5.4. Click here if you would like to see an explanation of AR.
