Celebrating my 20th year of making chainmail!

Hello, my name is Patrick Ober and I have been making custom chainmail armour and jewelry for the since 1992. Beginning in 2000 I have begun to specialize in chainmail jewelry, everything from finger rings and earrings to heavy necklaces. Each item is hand made, one at a time using a combination of fabricated and purchased clasps and other findings. I will be gradually moving to all hand made jewelry with no pre-made parts over the next few years.

Each piece of jewelry or armour starts out as raw wire or sheet that is formed and bent into its final form. I work primarily with sterling silver, fine silver, titanium, bronze/brass, and various steels for armour. I also make a variety of classical Loop in Loop Chains that are based on ancient Mediterranean
examples.
