Get to Know
I came to handmade jewelry, specially chainmaille, by a long route. Decades of working in the software business eventually pushed me over to the real, tangible, handcrafting world. I still enjoy the beauty of combining 0's and 1's, but to be able to actually see and hold a piece of art work in my hands, feel the texture between my fingers, that's beyond words, or 0's and 1's for that matter:-) Since 2008, I've been hopelessly addicted to chainmaille. I was warned about how much work it is, but once I started my first chain, I was hooked. My work ranges from jewelry pieces, personal trinkets, to home decor items in a variety of metals: silver, copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, niobium, and titanium. All chainmaille items in my store are made by me, opening and closing each jump ring with my trusted pliers in my hands. Each of my work goes through a design and construction process, even for the simplest, most straight forward chain, to ensure it wears comfortably and will be enjoyed for a long time to come.
