Hello, my name is Patrick Ober and I have been making custom chainmail armour and jewelry 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.
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.

For Custom Large Link Sterling Silver Wallet ChainI received a extremely lovely silver, heavy gauge, wallet chain. Have been fascinated with it ever since I received it. And Patrick's put up with a lot of nuisance questions from me. Sorry Patrick. I am very grateful for having such a really great and extremely strong handcrafted piece of craftsmanship. Thanks. Much appreciated. Chris Whittle

For 1.25" Diameter Copper And Bronze Spinning TopThe precision spinning top has a wobble as it spins. Sadly I paid a reasonable amount for a poor top.

For Persian Chainmail Titanium Bracelet With Lathe Turned Ends.Hi Patrick this was a very good experience. The only thing was that, and perhaps I misunderstood the diameter of the chainmail was 3/8 but when it arrived it is closer to 1/2". The only other thing was the shipping a little steep, but is was my request. Nice workmanship otherwise. Karl

For Custom Large Link Sterling Silver Wallet ChainThis project involved modifying a wallet chain design to create a beautiful custom pocket watch chain. The maker expertly crafted a titanium swivel for the chain, and the final silver and titanium piece is a work of exceptional craftsmanship. I strongly recommend this maker for anyone who wants an heirloom piece made to exacting specifications.
