Fused Fine Silver Loop In Loop Necklace With End Caps
Handmade in Asheville, North Carolina by Ober Metal Works
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.

Meet the Maker
Patrick Ober
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.

Jan 19, 2016The precision spinning top has a wobble as it spins. Sadly I paid a reasonable amount for a poor top.
