My background is a BFA with emphasis in graphic design. A few years ago I set out on a quest for a silver chain that stood out and had distinction, sans pendant. After a long empty search, I decided to make one myself, so I started experimenting with wire. About 8 months, and many chains later I put together the perfect gauge, material, and pattern to achieve what I wanted. This also inadvertently led me to find my passion in chain making.
I currently have 4 patterns that I have developed, however, I still lean fairly heavily to my original design. The chains are available in a whole lot of variations in size, gauge, and material. Some chains have 6 links to an inch while others have links larger than one inch respectively. The chains here on Etsy are available in sterling silver, and fine silver. But upon request they can be made in brass, copper, or gold-filled wire. Additionally, I have expanded the use of the chain to include beautifully distinctive necklaces, anklets, bracelets, and earrings which feature quality gemstones in the actual links. I hope you enjoy my jewelry!
