This chain is made from hand formed fused fine silver links. Each link starts off as a large 14 gauge fine silver link that is formed using minimal hand tools.
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.
Very happy, spins like w dream, pleasure to do business with!
Hi 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
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.
AAA+++
Great combination of materials and precision work. Very satisfied. Thank you.
