About Makin The Best Of It

Chainmaille is a lost ancient art that my wife and I enjoy making together.
We start with raw wire and coil and sawcut our own rings.
Most of our gallery items are for sale and some of them have links to our other websites. If the item your interested in does not have a link you can just shoot us a note and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Some items may have already been sold but can be remade upon request.
We work in various metals also, so if you see something you like but would rather have it in a different metal just let us know. We work in sterling silver, copper, bronze, anodized alluminum, enameled copper, and bright alluminum.
Custom orders are always encouraged, if you have an idea of something special you would like to have made just drop us a note and we’ll work out the details.

Thanks for all the support.
