This sterling silver chainmail bracelet is made from soldered sterling links. Each piece is soldered individually as the chain is being made. This chain is 4 links wide, but it can be made to just about any width. The clasp is hand built and soldered in place.
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.
Happy as usual, working out more ideas.
Great combination of materials and precision work. Very satisfied. Thank you.
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.
Very happy with how everything worked out, and extremely easy to work with. Yes, I am thinking of more ideas and will do more business soon.
