Adding Chain Maille To My Jewelry Line.
I have been busy working up some chain maille necklaces and bracelets for this season. I am going to be using bright aluminuim and recycled copper. Sterling silver will be available by special order only, due to the high increases in silver costs in the past few months.
For anyone who is not familiar with Bright Aluminuim; this metal looks and shines just like sterling silver. Also, bright aluminuim is more tarnish resistant than sterling silver.
Along with the Bright Aluminuim, I will be adding Copper. The designs with copper are made from recycled metals and the rings themselves are made/cut by myself.
I believe that visually the combination of these two metals looks stunning together. Plus, the facts that these metals are from recycled materials makes the jewelry even more appealing as well. To me, an eco-friendly jewelry design sends a statement that we can still look beautiful while working to keep our planet healthy.
Add-ons To Chain Maille Designs:
In addition to the chain maille designs, I will be wire wrapping pendants to add on. Pendants will be of high quality stones with copper or sterling wire wraps. These pendants will be available as add ons and will be individually priced In theory, a person can change out pendants for different looks throughout the week while using one chain.
Hope to get some photos posted soon.
