ITEM: A unique appearance that pleases all, this has a definite chainmail influence. It looks complex but is not overly busy. The woven strands are close together so it has a dense look compared to the other one. It has great eye appeal nonetheless. The manufacturing is a bit tricky but the results speaks for themselves.

PEDIGREE: I make all raw and finished materials and perform every step of the manufacturing process bar none. Literally, this piece has been nurtured from the atomic level.

The word handmade has a legal definition for jewelry. Unfortunately, most who use the term don't represent their items properly. Encourage integrity, honesty, and ethical behaviors by choosing your purchases wisely.

MATERIAL: My precious metals are reclaimed from existing sources by me, sparing the environment and natural resources. There are no unfair labor or acquisition tactics, conflict materials, unknown manufacturing processes, or support for foreign entities. Pure silver is one of the most hypoallergenic metals with natural anti-microbial and anti-viral properties.

CONSTRUCTION: This was made from 1.1mm round wire that was spiral wound, stretched, and pressed flat. The four strands are interwoven as seen. The ends are wound into themselves to prevent exposed edges. All jump rings have been welded closed.

FINISH: More information here. The completed piece goes through the tumbler numerous times to polish and burnish it before any finish or texturing is applied. This one retains its polished appearance.

DIMENSIONS: The pictured example is 8-1/2" long and its price can be found in the dropdown box. The length and width remain fairly constant in this style. In the pictured example, the woven section is about 7" long and the remainder is taken up by the clasp.

SIZING AND FIT: The wire is somewhat hardened as a result of the manufacturing but the whole bracelet can be easily bent to conform to any shape. Add about 1/2" to your normal length to allow for the clasp. Choose a size based on what you already wear or we can figure it out together.

PRESENTATION CASE: This will come in an unfinished wooden box with cotton or fabric lining. While not as beautiful as the full-fledged custom boxes accompanying my chainmail bracelets and necklaces, it is much more gift-worthy than even the most artistic cardboard boxes. You can upgrade or personalize this Metals by Mark exclusive.

PRICING: This price is for any size up to 7-1/2" long, which is smaller than the size pictured.

USA SHIPPING: Insured shipping is $12 USD for continental USA sent by USPS Priority or First Class Mail. APO/FPO and AK, HI, or non-continental USA may be higher. I combine shipping if possible and ship almost every day.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: International shipping and availability depend on the item, its value, destination country, shipping method, and other factors. Expect to pay a minimum of $25 USD S/H/I to Canada or $35 USD elsewhere. Everything is fully insured with proper legal documentation. Buyer is responsible for all taxes, duties, and fees.

CUSTOMIZE: Custom orders are the majority of my work and definitely a specialty! Unlock your imagination and pick your poison: thickness, width, length, texture, choice of metal(s), ring size or shape, dainty or super-sized. I'll even make necklaces, belts, earrings, anklets...anything that uses a chain. It can be engraved or stamped with many font choices.

OTHER METALS: Any gold color or alloy is available in 10k, 14k, 18k, and more. Sterling silver is always a favorite though any silver alloy is possible. Except by special request, which delays production for a few weeks, no other metals are available besides silver and gold.

PRECISION ASSEMBLY: I reject anything that doesn't function properly. Only then does fashion become the deciding factor.

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY: I express the truest essence of jewelry in all of my creations. Luxury is about elegance, beauty, discriminating taste, and high-quality workmanship...not compromise.

SPECIAL OFFERS: Owner is responsible for shipping costs both ways. I'll put it through the tumbler and check the condition. It will be returned the next business day unless I'm traveling.
