Jewelry Kits & Supplies
Oftentimes when people think about creating durable metal jewelry design, the arduous process of metal smithing comes to mind. LEX JEWELRY's high- fashion pieces do not involve sawing, melting, or soldering metal in order to achieve our trendy designs. Rather we use the ancient art of chain maille whereby, using a set of pliers, small metal rings (known as 'jump rings') are connected to one another to form a pattern. People often say that weaving chainmaille patterns is to metal what knitting is to yarn.
The art of designing chain maille pieces can often seem complex to a newbie. In order to effectively create a wearable chain maille piece numerous considerations need to be taken into account including aspect ratios and metallic properties of jump rings, color selection, and pattern design. Here at LEX JEWELRY, our goal is to take the guess work out of creating chain maille pieces, so you can enjoy the meditative flow and sense of satisfaction that comes along with creating your own chain maille jewelry.
