Announcement
After an extra long hiatus, Gypsy Grove is now open for business! Many big changes are coming in the future, so please check back often!
*Please Note*
- Stock is currently limited as shipping times have increased, and three of my main suppliers have permanently closed down. Your patience and understanding is appreciated while I run at limited capacity for a bit.
- As I'm sure most of you know, shipping with the USPS is all over the place right now. I will continue to ship out orders in a timely manner (usually within 3 days), but please be patient with the shipping process. Once a package is mailed, its fate is sadly out of my hands. So far, none of my packages have been significantly delayed but many others have experienced issues. Please be patient! If you have any concerns at all, please drop me a message!

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love it. 😁❤
I really grew to like chain mail bracelets recently, and decided to get one more in this style since it looked so unique and elefant.
And like the Kusari chaimaille I wear it's very comfortable and lightweight, so I can have it on on a daily basis.
And because it's also made from aluminum, I don't have to worry about it rusting on me, so I don't have to take it off when I wash my hands or take a shower.
I really like low maintenance accessories most of the time, and adding this to my set feels just right. -

5 out of 5 starsI contacted the owner with a custom order request and heard back quickly. The necklace shipped fast even after requesting a substantial addition to the length and it proved complicated because I did not want a clasp. The necklace is beautiful and I love it. This shop has quality items at excellent prices and this is why I have quite a few chainmail necklaces from here. I’ll be back!

About GypsyGrove

Sunset in the Grove
In the Grove, the Gypsy creates.
In the rolling hills and quiet woods of northwest Alabama, just off a battered country road, stands a little house. Around that house are rings of trees -- tall pines, fragrant cedars, blossoming magnolias. In the spring and summer, the trees grow full and thick, blocking out the rest of the world. On the windows of the little house, shadows dance across the blinds giving the impression, with a bit of an imagination, that the house has become submerged in water. It is a magical place where laughter reigns and hugs are frequent.
In that little house, there lives a gypsy. At least, that is what her husband likes to call her. She lives there with him, their children, two cats, a dog, and a turtle. It is when the house is quiet that her work begins, weaving tiny silver rings into intricate designs, some adorned with precious stones or sparkling glass. It is a passion. A calling perhaps. And in the Grove, the gypsy creates.

I am the gypsy in the Grove, although most know me as Laurie. I began this grand adventure in 2011 with no plan, no direction, and no true idea what I was doing. But learning, like so much in my life, is a passion. I began small, stringing beads into interesting patterns. It didn't take me long, however, to bore myself half to death with that. I needed a challenge. I always need a challenge. I do not like easy. I ventured into wirework, and while I still enjoy it to this day, it just wasn't "me".
And that's when I discovered chainmaille. Ah, glorious, tedious, finger-breaking chainmaille! It was love at first weave. Chainmaille was the challenge I had been searching for. Three years later, it's a full-blown love affair.
My goal when I created Gypsy Grove was simple -- make amazing pieces that almost anyone can afford. You shouldn't need a huge bank account to own a unique artisan piece. I strive to create a variety of prices while keeping the high quality my customers deserve.
When you interact with Gypsy Grove -- through this website, Etsy, Facebook, Google+, or email -- you are interacting directly with me. The Grove is a one-woman show. Well, except at shows when my oldest daughter, Madison, joins me for backup. Other than that, Gypsy Grove has been crafted from the ground up by my own two, always achy, slightly stiff hands. It is a labor of love and passion and has brought amazing people into my life.
From its humble beginnings, Gypsy Grove has grown into more than I could have ever dreamed of. I have been honored to provide gifts for popular Korean pop bands U-Kiss and Vixx while on their American tours. I have also been honored and humbled by becoming the exclusive jeweler to international author, Chantel Lysette. Pieces from the Grove have shipped out to all around the world, with more countries being added every month. As a member of The Artisan Group, Gypsy Grove is branching out to include celebrity and press giftings and will be sending items to various television shows for consideration by the stylists.
It is a joy to create items that others come to love. And as long as my hands allow, I will continue to craft beautiful creations that connect me to so many beautiful spirits. Thank you for visiting the Grove and for helping me create this magical life I am so blessed to live.
