About our Chain Maille (Chainmail):
One of iDu Jewelry’s specialties is handmade Chain Maille jewelry. Chain Maille is an ancient technique used in the middle ages to weave silver rings into wearable garments or adornment. Today, Chain Maille is typically used to create beautiful bracelet, necklace, and earring patterns. You'll be amazed at the variety of exciting designs that can be produced.
We make all of our Chain Maille rings from scratch, beginning with a spool of wire. We manually wind the wire around sizing mandrels and then saw cut the rings. Prior to weaving the patterns, the rings are cleaned and deburred. Each bracelet design is handmade by weaving together hundreds of individual rings. Each bracelet can take 1-5 hours to complete the weaving depending on the amount of individual rings and the pattern complexity. Each Chain Maille item we make goes through 4 separate polishing stages that takes approximately 12 hours. This process gives our products a smoother finish than most other Chain Maille on the market.
