I create handcrafted stainless steel chainmaille jewelry inspired by an ancient art once used to make flexible armor. Each piece is carefully woven ring by ring, often incorporating more than 1,000 individual links. At times, I enhance my designs with natural stones, oversized rings, colored rings, or delicate chains to add contrast and dimension, and create a one of a kind statement piece. Stainless steel is more challenging to work with than many other metals, but I choose it for its exceptional strength, durability, and hypoallergenic qualities. My work blends modern design with a centuries-old technique, offering a contemporary interpretation of a medieval art form.
