Here is the weave known as 'orbitals'.
A single unit is an orbital.
The blue rings are the internal chain, the silver ring is the orbiting ring.
Single orbitals can be linked together to form a chain of units, or you can create a chain of 1-1, and place orbital rings around them along the entire length.
Here is a good tutorial for orbitals - http://cgmaille.com/tutorials/orbital.shtml
Please note: Orbitals is a size-fussy weave. Only certain sizes will work properly.
What you see above it made using 16 gauge 5/16.

I hope you don't mind if I make a contribution, but I used orbitals to make a bracelet with what I thought were some enormously entertaining properties, here. It's a solid metal piece that stretches as though it were rubber. Ring properties were 18g 1/4".
It's achieved by placing two internal (blue) rings through the side side of one of the orbital (silver) rings, and building another orbital off of each of the paired rings. Also great for pendants and knicknacks.
