I made this bracelet for myself and I wear it 24/7. I skate, drum, work, shower, swim, sleep, and everything else in it. I made this silky beauty from super thin 22 gauge Stainless Steel wire. It’s a Euro 4-in-1 pattern that I’ve finished with slightly smaller rings on the edges to crisp up the the look and feel of this ancient pattern. As I am want to do lately I also welded every link closed as a assembled it! The closure on this bracelet is special as well. What I’ve done is diminished the pattern down to a opposite points on both ends and then built in slightly larger rings where the decrease starts on each. This way, the two clasps can reach back to connect to the other end which positions the break in the chain diagonally, and touching, so that it mostly disappears. I think this is SUPER COOL and I can’t believe it took me 20 years to try it, haha!
I’ve been making this Double Wide Byzantine pattern for decades. This one is special because it’s the first one I’ve done with welded links! I’m prepping for a drop of all new all welded chains here on my Insta!
I made this from 16 gauge 300 series Stainless Steel wire that I turned and cut into links, assembled, and welded by hand. This beast is heavy and tough and dripping with power, if you’re into that sort of stuff.
I love this one! I made it with Stainless Steel & Blue Anodized Titanium. The pattern is Japanese 12-in-2 run at a slight curve to the center point. I make the subtle shape by using three graduated link diameters for the horizontal links. When it’s right, you can feel it. Like all of my stuff I made this from scratch. I wrap the wire into a coil that I cut into links that I assemble and close by hand.
I spent some serious time yesterday dialing in my home lighting and camera settings so that I’ll be able to shoot all the rad new chains I’ve been making!
I love making Micro Maille! This one is a classic Byzantine necklace I made from 22 gauge Stainless Steel. To make these tiny links I wrap the 22 gauge wire around a piece of 14 gauge wire.
Hand-finished and composed of 210 stainless steel spheres, Tila Chair’s design borrows its conceptual and aesthetic language from the traditional folk game of Tila, combining the communal nature of the game and its components as a metaphor for density.
The array of entwined spheres shape the skin of the object, coupled by tubular profiles which creates its anatomy. Its chrome finish is intended to complement and reflect its context and surroundings.
