Dragon Scales

Large aluminum dragon scales, sold in hundred-count packs. These are the big scales — the ones that cover area fast and read as armor from across a room, which is why they end up on pauldrons, bags, and costume panels rather than jewelry.

At the coverage our calculator uses for large scales, a hundred-count pack sheets roughly 48 square inches. Hanging that pack takes about 220 jump rings, counting two per scale and a ten percent spare buffer.

Large scales want an open ring: 18 SWG at 1/4 inch inner diameter is the pairing our calculator assumes. Browse jump rings for that size, compare against the smaller scales by the pack, and run your project through the calculator before ordering.
