This chain is made from woven fine silver links. Each link is fused, which is a controlled melting of the link, stretched, and then woven into the chain. This pattern is called a two way single. I Make several size variations of this chain.
Ober Metal Works
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.

This 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.
The precision spinning top has a wobble as it spins. Sadly I paid a reasonable amount for a poor top.
Great combination of materials and precision work. Very satisfied. Thank you.
I 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
