I am trying to make a chain link. It is from a Japanese silver accessory company called Bloody Mary. I am still learning. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you so much for creating the model. I am very sorry if you can spare any more time can you maybe take a couple screenshots of the model in earlier stages of modeling? I just want to understand how it was created to help me learn.

#4 Used W -> bridge edge loops on one side at a time and set number of cuts and 0.75 smoothness
#7 used shrink/fatten with alt+S and W -> smooth to get the forms rounder

I am trying to make again now and I still don’t understand how to model top and bottom parts simultaneously with a modeling array. Is there a tutorial for something similar?
