#welded chainmaille

I made this ring for a longtime customer who’s gonna wear it as his wedding ring! It’s made from 22 and 24 gauge Brass. So tiny! So cool! Should I make more rings? I think so.

I made this Mythril Chainmaille bracelet from 22 gauge Sterling Silver wire. I wrap the raw wire around a rod, cut that coil into circles with a jewelers saw, open them up using two pairs of pliers, put each one into place, close them using two pairs of pliers, and than to make sure my work will last a lifetime I weld each one closed before moving to the next. This beauty has exactly 1,570 links in it and it weighs just over two ounces. Oh and I make and weld the clasps myself. Look how pretty!!

I made this satchel for an old friend. It’s made from Stainless Steel with Brass decoration, all welded-links. I used Euro 4-In-1 with a row reduction for the bottom of the bag and with a micro-maille drawstring for the top. It even clasps back to a locking link to safely secure whatever’s inside! This was a fun gift to make and each time I make Chainmaille outside of the mindset of the marketplace I fall back in love with the craft. That’s good to remember. I almost didn’t post this for the same reason, but here we are. Okay that’s all for today. It’s one million degrees here in Portland and my mind has settled to a puddle at the bottom of my skull

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 made this custom 14K gold necklace for a wonderful client of mine named Marcel! It’s a micro-maille Byzantine chain for this beautiful jade pendent he wanted to keep close. To make it I started with raw wire and wrapped, cut, assembled, and welded each solid gold link. I made it using 22 gauge yellow gold wire and a matching yellow gold lobster clasp. On a parallel note, I have been working on my photos, but I must say that no photo can convey the certain special physical feeling of a handmade gold chain. I honestly didn’t understand the whole “thing” with gold until I started working with it to make chains for people. Now I get it. It is magical. I’m so lucky to get to do what I do for a living. I’m grateful to all the folks like Marcel for having me make my best work for them! Here’s to what is to come! Keep it real out there everyone!

Oh and as always, DM for orders and don’t be a stranger!

I made this super tiny micro-maille ring from 24 gauge and 22 gauge Stainless Steel. I welded every single little link! It’s a Japanese 12-in-2 pattern and I think I should make more rings now, so I will!

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.

Happy new year everyone! I’ve been making these Japanese spheres for decades but this is the first welded one I’ve done. Every link starts as raw wire that I wrap, cut, assemble, and then weld. I wish you could feel this thing in your hands! It’s like nothing else.

I make this ultimate Chainmaille wallet chain by hand. I start with raw wire and end with a prefect weld to fuse every link into place. This thing is ready for decades of heavy use. This is the toughest Chainmaille on earth and I guarantee my welded chains for life.

I made this one from Stainless Steel wire. The clasp is a solid 316 Stainless swivel clip on I use a solid Stainless Steel slit ring on the other end where your wallet attaches. This wallet chain is ready for anything and will never tarnish or rust.
