Silver & Gold Chainmail Jewelry
Chains
Weaving chainmail from tiny silver and gold rings can be as frustrating as it is rewarding. This jewelry was made at various points from 2004 – 20012, and is available for sale in my Etsy Shop.
In 2001 I took a “Chainmail & Calligraphy” class at Oberlin College. I started by learning basic armor weaves on cheap galvanized steel, but it wasn’t long before I began experimenting with colors and patterns in anodized aluminum. After a few years of playing with bright shiny colors, I needed a new challenge so I ‘graduated’ to silver and gold. I’ve been working with chainmail for 8 years now, and the best part is that I’m still learning new things all the time.
