#14k gold

LIVE

I first started making this pattern when I was maybe 13 years old. I had been making Chainmaille already for a number of years and I was tinkering with Full Persian when I realized it would work to build each row from the corners of the previous row rather than straight up. This created a totally different looking chain. It twists its way along but looks totally chaotic. At the time, I thought I’d invented it and I called it “Chaos Theory” which is one of the common names for this pattern to this day. It is also often called “Candy Cane” which I don’t like as much as my name for it


After decades of making this pattern this is the first solid gold one I’ve made from Chaos Theory! I made it from 14K gold wire that I turned into links and then assembled by hand, right down to welding each link closed. This necklace is 25 inches long and is connected back to itself seamlessly so there is no clasp. DM for Pricing and/or custom gold work ‍♂️
