Old world concept, new age designs. Chainmail-inspired jewelry, one ring at a time.I've always had an admiration for the metal-rich, medieval looking armor and jewelry. Having this interest and a drive to be creative and hands-on in my life, I decided to take a stab at making my own pieces using the same techniques crafters used hundreds of years ago to make chainmail armor. A more complicated bracelet, such as the E Aho Laula, may take as long as 40 hours to complete. Not only that, but a single mistake on the artist's part such as miscalculating the size of the ring needed, can often result in bracelets that are impossible to wear. Chainmail work doesn't just take patience, but careful planning as well.There are few crafts left that a machine can't reproduce, and it's surreal knowing that the process of weaving metals into wearable pieces hasn't changed much in hundreds of years. Working on these pieces is keeping an ancient art alive. My pieces are much more refined, though. I use smaller metal rings to handcraft my fine jewelry and accessories. I also embrace technology; I sometimes use a machined product and then craft it in to something wearable and unique. While not as labor intensive, the product quality still meets my standards, and I am proud of each and every piece crafted. I'm always learning new styles and weaves, as well as coming up with my own custom designs.
