Great service

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

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.

Barry Homrighaus

For Custom Large Link Sterling Silver Wallet Chain

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.

Raul Morales

For 1.25" Diameter Copper And Bronze Spinning Top

The 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.

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..
