ITEM: Also called the Garter Belt weave, there are a lot of interlocking rings and sizes in this weave. No doubt one of the most aesthetically pleasing weaves, it has enough bling to satisfy the most demanding jewelry or chain connoisseur. With three ring sizes that weave in and around each other, this will be a highlight in your bracelet collection. Each size ring uses a different wire diameter which adds considerable visual density. This is suited for a king, no doubt.

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: Precious metal rings are welded or soldered closed because they will fail otherwise. They are elegant, stronger, and smoother than butted rings. Quality jewelry uses soldered or welded rings without exception. Otherwise, it's just an over-priced, poorly made novelty item.

FINISH: Each link is sanded as needed to ensure a near-seamless finish. The completed chainmail piece goes through the tumbler for 24-72 hours. Additional detail work and inspections are performed between each tumbling session.

DIMENSIONS: The pictured example is 20-1/4" long and its price can be found in the dropdown box. This weave is tight so the dimensions will remain fairly constant. See more information in the Sizing and Fit dropdown box.

SIZING AND FIT: To tightly fit a 7" circumference without any slack would require a section 8" long. Therefore, add about 1/2" to allow for the thickness PLUS enough extra length to fit comfortably. There will likely be additional requirements found in the Clasp dropdown box.

CLASP: The Hook and eye uses 1.3mm doubled-over round wire and the bail loops use 1.6mm round wire. On new or custom purchases there is no charge for switching the clasp. Add about 1/2" to your normal length to allow enough room for the Hook and eye clasp. A toggle clasp is more secure but it will require more room than a hook-and-eye. (NOTE: Clasp may not be shown in photo. Jump ring connectors might not be welded until chain is properly sized.)

PRESENTATION CASE: Beginning with an unfinished wooden box, I construct a perfectly fitted interior compartment veneered with luxurious anti-tarnish fabric. Its pedigree, a parchment scroll with wooden dowels and a decorative metal clasp, is reminiscent of chainmail's medieval heritage. As classy and custom as the treasure inside, your recipient will know something incredible awaits. Ask about personalizing this exclusive keepsake.

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.

USA SHIPPING: Insured shipping is $22 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 alloy or color is available in 10k, 14k, 18k, and more. Sterling silver is always a favorite though any silver alloy is possible. Titanium, niobium, and stainless steel sizes are limited and delayed because I must purchase wire from a commercial source. Copper works in all sizes. Though non-precious metals can be welded or soldered, they will have butted rings unless price isn't a factor.

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.
