Jens Pind Sterling Silver Bracelet - Chainmaille



This is a very traditional sterling silver bracelet. It looks great by itself or worn with other bracelets. It is one of my favorite bracelets. I wear this one and the Byzantine bracelet or Spiral bracelet almost every day. They are great casual or just enough with that pretty black dress.

(This bracelet can be made in other gauges if you would like a finer or heavier bracelet.)

Daisy Bracelet - Chainmaille



This is a beautiful sterling silver bracelet that is truly eye catching. It is a heavy bracelet made with 3 layers of sterling silver 18 gauge rings arranged in a flower pattern. There is about 2 ounces of sterling rings in this bracelet.

All the girls wanted one of these for Christmas last year. Two of them wanted them as watch bands and this is the other one as a bracelet.

Earrings - Part 1

I spent some time recently just making earrings. Some of these earrings match a necklace and but many are just earrings to wear with many outfits. I have lots more earrings to post but here are some of my favorites.






I made these to go with a nice illusion necklace but I find I wear them even when I don't wear the illusion necklace. They have a nice blue that goes with so many outfits. They are made using sterling silver frames and wires and measure 1 7/8" from the top of the wire. -- $15









These chainmaille earrings are made with all .925 sterling silver rings and 4mm black swarovski crystals. They can be very dressy or casual. These can be made with any color crystals. These are 2 1/4" from the top of the wire. -- Due to varying price of sterling silver, email me for price






These earrings are an example of my suspended earrings. There are so many things that can be suspended inside the silver and black pewter rings. These were made to match a sodalite necklace so small sodalite rectangles are suspended inside the rings. A large black czech crystal, swarovski crystal or a colorful bead also look great in these rings. I can make them to match any outfit. These are also on sterling silver wires and measure 1 3/4" from the top of the wire. - $15

Sterling Silver Spiral Bracelet

Sterling Silver Spiral Bracelet


This spiral bracelet is a delicate bracelet that looks stunning by itself and also looks great worn with one of the other chainmaille bracelets such as the Byzantine or the Jens Pind. It is made with very delicate 4mm half rings which look like tiny wedding rings. They are linked together to make a tight spiral pattern.

Sterling Silver Byzantine Bracelet

Byzantine Bracelet


When I first saw this bracelet I thought it just looked messy but now it is one of my favorite bracelets. I find I wear this one and one called Jens Pind or my 6-in-one spiral together all the time. Pictures of these will be posted soon. It is thin and flexible and just the right width to wear by itself or with another bracelet. It can be made much heavier though. I made this pattern into a necklace for one of my sons using a larger heavier 12 gauge ring. It turned out fantastic.

This bracelet is made using all .925 sterling silver and a sterling clasp. It can be made in a variety of gauges which will make the bracelet heavier or finer. If you would like it in a different gauge I will send you a quote on the cost in that gauge.

Sterling Silver Full Persian Bracelet


Full Persian Chainmaille Bracelet


Chainmaille jewelry is made by connecting individual rings in a pattern. A few years ago I saw this bracelet and taught myself how to make it. It is a tedious process but they are beautiful bracelets and well worth it. This bracelet is made by connecting over 130 individual .925 sterling silver rings. The clasp is also sterling silver.


I made this bracelet for the girls for their birthdays. I know they like their bracelet because I see them wearing them all the time. It is a great bracelet to wear when you get dressed up and also looks fantastic with jeans.


I have a few different styles of clasps. If you see one you like better on one of the other sterling silver bracelets just let me know.

The bracelet is about 3/8" wide. I can make this bracelet heavier or thinner by changing the gauge and diameter of the rings.
