Triple Flower Helm (Parallel) Chainmaille Necklace

This necklace is made using the Helm/Parallel Chainmaille Weave weaved into 3 flowers. I used sterling silver wire for the 75-18 gauge jump rings. I then added the flowers to a sterling silver Long Curb Chain and used a sterling silver Figure 8 clasp to finish it off. Full length is 18 1/2". All my sterling silver jump rings are tumble polished for a beautiful shine and strength.

Helm/Parallel Chainmaille Bracelet-Custom Work

These Sterling Silver Bracelets were made using the helm (also known as parallel) chainmaille weave.  For womens bracelets I use smaller jump rings in 18 gauge sterling silver wire to make it more feminine.  This can also be made into necklaces and earrings.  The mens bracelets I use 16 gauge sterling silver wire to make larger rings and a figure 8 clasp.  These were custom ordered as a his and her gift set.  I unfortunately did not get pictures of them side by side to see the difference in sizes.

Japanese Chainmail Necklace with Jet Black Swarovski Crystals

This necklace ended up being one of my all time favorite projects.  The weave is a Japanese 12-in-2 weave.  The hardest part of the whole piece was wire wrapping the Swarovski crystal briolettes.  Wow, that was a challenge for someone who has never done it before.  But after breaking a few crystals and wasting some wire I got the hang of it and was very happy with how they all turned out.

Sterling Silver Rosette Chainmaille

Most of the chainmaille I make can be made into necklaces and earrings.  So if you would like any of the weaves you see hear to be a bracelet, necklace, or earrings just email me.

Custom Order-Albert's Bracelet

Here is a bracelet I was asked to make for Albert's birthday.  My favorite chainmaille weave of them all.  This is a Japanese 12-in-1 weave with a Figure 8 clasp.  All Sterling Silver. 

S.S. Double Cross Necklace with Amethyst Swarovski Crystals

I just finished this necklace today.  I had intended for these jump rings to be made into a bracelet but they ended up the wrong size.  I tried everything I could think of hoping they were not a total waste.  Then when I was going through all my old stuff and saw the earrings that match this necklace I thought I'd give it a try and it worked out which led to the birth of this necklace.  This necklace is for sale at my Etsy Shop.  Double Cross Necklace.
