Chainmaille Bracelet - Dragonscale - Sterling Silver & Gray Niobium

Artisan Jewelry : Bracelets : Chainmaille, Chain Maille : Sterling Silver : Niobium : Gray

 

I'd been wanting to make this weave for a long time, & here was my chance. This bracelet was a custom order - I make these on a special order basis because this weave is very labor and materials intensive. This is the chainmail (chain maille) pattern known as "Dragonscale" because of the way each ring overlaps the one before it. It is an exacting weave to make, it does not tolerate mistakes, and I discovered I can't do it when I'm tired or my mind is wandering! But when it's done, it's incredible, and I love how this combination of sterling and natural (gray) niobium turned out. It goes beyond classy, showcasing elegance without being ostentatious. It's reversible in that with one side facing up, you see more of the sterling, the other side reveals more niobium. It is extremely flexible when curved around the wrist one way (more niobium showing, see the first pic), stiffer, more like a cuff, when wrapped the opposite way (2nd pic). My mom tried it on before I sent it out, and all we could say was "WOW"! This bracelet is adjustable from a little over 7" to just under 7.5". This bracelet closed with a natural Titanium lobster clasp, but for other bracelets I will choose a clasp appropriate to that bracelet. This project normally takes 5 or so weeks for completion due to my supplier's timeline, however expedited service may be available. I can check with my supplier if needed.

I will be working on a 14k rose gold fill/sterling combination soon - pics will be posted when it's finished.

Other color or metal combinations available, please ask!

Payment terms: I will accept a 50% down payment when placing the order, with the balance due when the bracelet is completed. The down payment is non-refundable because I need to purchase from my supplier.

Thanks for coming to Lone Rock Creations!
