Chainmail Armour and Jewelry
New Work













Home | Artist | New Work | Catalog | Contact Me | Local Events / Classes





Here is a selection of new work that will be updated as I have a chance to take pictures of pieces as they are finished.  Most of the silver chains will be fully soldered or fused unless stated otherwise.  This process doubles or triples that amount of time it takes to make one piece by butting the rings.  This fabrication time pays off because the jewelry that I make seldom, if ever needs repairs.  Please keep this in mind as you veiw the work.

j6in12w4.jpg

This is an all soldered version of the Japanese 6in1 pattern.  This version is made from two heavy gauges of wire (16 and 14 gauge).  Each ring is either soldered or fused making a very strong and long lasting bracelet.
 
2 wide Japanese 6in1:  $180

hybridtifswhook1.jpg

This bracelet is a combination of Loop in Loop and chainmail patterns, creating a hybrid that is faster to make than its parent chain types.  This is the large version and is made with Titanium and fused fine silver rings.  This version can only be made with butted titanium rings (its not possible to solder them closed as it is with sterling silver).
 
Modified Byzantine or Knuckle Chain with Titanium:
Large:  $150.00

japanese4in1tubefullsolder.jpg

This is a modern variation on Japanese Chainmail.  This pattern is a hollow tube, made with soldered Sterling Silver and fused fine silver.  It has considerable volume with a minimal mass, this version is heavier than the Titanium and Fine silver versions, but not by much.

Finally!!!!! Here is a very sturdy Titanium and fused fine silver ring.  The titanium rings are butted together and the fine silver has been fused, creating one solid piece (as if the ring had been punched from a solid sheet of metal).  These rings are slightly flexible so they can bend instead of break.  The fine silver rings should never crack or come apart making the ring very sturdy.

The ring is about 3/8ths of an inch wide.

I can make rings from size 6 and up.

 

Ring prices start out at $100 (Sizes 6 thru 9) $140 (10 thru 14)

turkishchaintiss.jpg

Turkish chain bracelet made from titanium and sterling silver (all butted rings, except end rings of silver).  Alternating bands of titanium and silver create a bold look, and have the added bonus of making a bracelet with a large presence with low weight.
 
Turkish Chain Bracelet Ti and Silver:  $200.00

This bracelet is based on a ancient Picenes example that I saw at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.  This piece is made from heavy gauge fine and sterling silver.

triple2.jpg

This reproduction of a classical design is a triple link chain.  I can put a variety of clasps including hooks, toggles and lobster claws on the chain.  It is also possible to make this chain out of titanium (please contact me for pricing).  Each ring is under ¼ qtr of an inch across.

 

Sterling Silver Triple link Chain $175

This European 4in1 bracelet is made from Titanium, Sterling and Fine silver.  The bracelet can be made in a variety of widths, with a minimum of 3 rings.  The outer rings are fused fine silver (for strength) with butted heavy gauge titanium making up the body of the bracelet.  A hand fabricated, heavy duty sterling catch makes this bracelet easy to take on and off.

Medium: $60
Large: $70

largesailorschain1.jpg

These Loop in Loop chains are made in the classic Roman or Sailor's chain.  Each ring starts out round and is formed using two madrels and a pair of pliers into the figure eight shape, then they are connected together.  Its a faster chain to make, but it has more steps than just about any other Loop in Loop style.
 
I currently make three different sizes, the one pictured in the largest.
Large Sailor;s chain: $145
Medium Sailor's chain: $135
Small Sailor's chain: $120
