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. The gray and silver 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 from 2-5 weeks for completion due to whether I have enough rings on hand, or my supplier's timeline. Expedited service may be available, and I can check with my supplier if needed.

Also shown is a sterling/14k rose gold fill combination I recently completed for a customer (please ask for a price quote) - see for yourselves, it is beyond superlatives!!

Other color or metal combinations available, please ask!

Payment terms: I will accept a 50% non-refundable down payment when placing the order, with the balance due when the bracelet is completed.

Thanks for visiting my shop!
