Hi, I'm Rebeca! Thank you for visiting my shop. I've been making chainmaille since 2002 and it truly is my passion. I am honored to create pieces of jewelry for people all over the world. From understated and elegant "staple" pieces to bold statement pieces, Rebeca Mojica Jewelry can help you express your individual style.

I especially love creating pieces that inspire people to push the boundaries of what they normally wear, by going bigger or bolder, or by trying new color schemes. Countless customers have come back to me, telling me they received so many compliments on their jewelry and they feel so good wearing it. THAT is why I do what I do--I love creating jewelry that makes people feel good about themselves, whether that feeling is beauty, confidence, bad-assery, elegance or some combination of all those things!

Browse my shop, see what catches your eye and feel free to request a custom piece so I can help you bring your idea to reality.


ARTIST STATEMENT: Chainmaille is a marriage between mathematics and free-form shape, between right- and left-brain talents. I'm fascinated that a single shape can be put together in so many ways, yielding virtually an infinite number of textures and patterns. I absolutely love picking up a piece of chainmaille and feeling its very distinct personality come to life in my fingers. By using colored rings and combining classic weaves in new ways, I try to erase people's preconceived notions of chainmaille. I strive to push the limits of what is commonly thought of as chainmaille. When I hear someone say, "Wow! I didn't know chainmaille could do that!", then I know I've succeeded.

I am inspired by fractal mathematics, organic shapes and architecture. Where other people see flowers, trees and buildings, and I see a world where everything is made of interlocked circles. My brain spends a lot of time thinking, "OK, how could I make that out of maille?"

CREDENTIALS: Over the years, I've won numerous awards for my jewelry, I've published a best-selling how-to book and I've taught more than 1,000 students all over the world how to make jewelry. For 13 years I ran my own shop, Blue Buddha Boutique, specializing in chainmaille supplies. Blue Buddha heavily influenced the industry by introducing new weaves that hundreds of artisans all over the world recreate and sell today.

IN MY SPARE TIME (WAIT, WHAT SPARE TIME? HEH): When I'm not making chainmaille, I'm probably at the gym, cuddling my cats, cooking, watching dystopian-themed TV shows or contemplating quantum physics and fractal cosmology.
