Fused Fine Silver Loop In Loop Necklace With End Caps
This style of chain is based on multiple examples from the ancient Greek and Roman world. This necklace is made from hand woven fused fine silver links. Each link is heated to melting temperature until the ends fuse (mostly controlled melting). After fusing each link is stretched and then woven in place. This creates a very strong and delicate chain that has a smooth flow and articulation. The necklace is 22 3/4" long, with a half inch of adjustment. The chain is 1/4" on a side. This necklace has sterling silver end caps and a sterling lobster claw clasp.

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 Chain5.0I 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 Top3.7The 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.4.7Hi 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 Chain5.0This 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.
