4 - I N - 1
9:18nb and 11:16nb are great choices for European 4-in-1. (You can use 6:20nb if you're very patient, but it's insanely tight.)
   
6 - I N - 1
The 8:20nb rings are too tight to make a 6-in-1 all on their own, but add a center row of size 10:20 and it works into a nice sleek chain. I don't yet know whether those sizes can expand out into a sheet.
12:18nb and 16:16nb both make very nice European 6-in-1 sheets.

6:20nb combined with size 7:21. One of my very favorites - great for long, dangly earrings.
For a heavier Birdcage chain, try sizes 9:18nb and 11:16nb.

Box comes out very well in sizes 12:18nb and 16:16nb. I especially like using two contrasting colors for this weave.

8:20nb combined with size 12:20 rings. Please note that 8:20nb is a tiny bit smaller than silver 8:20. You can combine the two for the small dragonscale rings, but pay attention to keeping things symmetric or you could find yourself with a slightly curved weave.




And some copper experiments... The copper rings run a bit on the small side - small enough that 8:20nb and 12:20cu dragonscale binds up. I made two sample patches:
1) 8:20nb with 13:20cu - it works, but is quite loose. (green patch)
2) 9:18nb with 15:18cu - it works, and is quite snug. (blue patch)

8:20nb

6:20nb combined with 11:19 rings. Please note!! If you're making this weave with all silver rings, I recommend 10:19 and 6:21. The heavier wire in the 6:20nb rings (or 6:20gf or silver 6:20) requires the extra room of a size 11:19 large ring.

6:20nb. The structure of the jens pind spiral lends itself to combinations of three colors.

For a dainty chain, combine 8:20nb with 12:20 (shown in silver).
For a larger, all niobium version, combine 9:18nb with 15:18nb. Lots of fantastic color options with this one.
