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.
Working with Patrick was a pleasure. Patrick altered his design from a braclet to be a wallet chain per my request. It turned out perfect. I'm so excited to give it as a birthday present..
Very easy to work with, and puts up with a lot of requests and indecision. Already have a 3rd project on the way and thinking of a 4th.
Great combination of materials and precision work. Very satisfied. Thank you.
