ITEM: This is a simple chainmail pendant with lots of rings in it. NOTE: The example has unwelded links but this was for prototype purposes - yours will be fully welded as described.

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: Using three different size rings not including the bail pieces, this is roughly the shape of a cross. The I.D. of the central ring is the largest followed by the eight rings that make up the arms of the cross and finally the eight small guys.

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. In this case, it has a polished appearance.

DIMENSIONS: The pictured example is 1-1/4" plus the bail loops long and its price can be found in the dropdown box. This will lengthen somewhat as seen in the picture but still keeps its octahedron shape. There are one large, eight medium, and eight small rings not counting the bail loops.

SIZING AND FIT: If a different style, size, or shape bail loop is needed then it can usually be done without additional cost.

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.

PAYMENT: FOR CHECKS, MONEY ORDERS, OR CASH I WILL DEDUCT 2% FROM THE TOTAL NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING! Inquire about barter. Otherwise, Paypal and other methods are accepted. Payment must clear before shipping. VT residents subject to 6% sales tax unless a valid reseller certificate is supplied. Buyer is responsible for all taxes, duties, and fees.

PRICING: Price will change with different size rings or thicker wire.

USA SHIPPING: Insured shipping is $8 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.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION: The pictured example is 1-1/4" plus the bail loops x 1-1/4" x 3/16". The outer dimensions of the finished piece are 1-5/8" x 1-3/16". The total weight is 5 grams or 0.16 troy ounces. Aside from the bail loops, the rings are made from 1.1mm pure silver wire.
