Chainmaille for the Modern Age

Please note we do not offer Custom Design Services

We’re The Velvet Zebra — a pair of chainmaille artists and creative storytellers based in the Pacific Northwest. We make handcrafted metal jewelry inspired by historical weaves, practical craftsmanship, and the imaginative worlds we love.

Every piece is built from real anodized aluminum rings, chosen for their durability, color, and lightweight feel. Our work draws from Viking and Medieval influences, but we design for modern wearers — people who enjoy cosplay, performance, everyday statement pieces, or simply expressing their own strength and style.

Some of the character images on our site are digitally modeled using our actual chainmaille designs. They’re meant to help you visualize how each piece can fit into your own look, story, or universe.

We’re grateful you’re here and excited to share our work with you.
