Chainmaille is the ancient technique of weaving many individual rings together to form something new.  Originally designed as a way to produce flexible armor, chainmaille soon began to be used for jewelry purposes.  Modern chainmaille is used to create jewelry with texture and movement unparalleled by other jewelry making techniques. All of my chainmaille pieces are handwoven, and then each link is either individually welded closed for exceptional strength and wearability (all while maintaining flexibility), or the entire piece is torch fused together to form bonds at every touchpoint, creating a solid work of jewelry art. Some pieces are made from a blending of these techniques.
