Valkyrie
This started out as a Hauberk we called Winter Soldier, but the patter was too big, and too beautiful to shrink, so it became a Viking women’s dress – thatywhen Valkyrie was born. Complete with headdress, fringed hand “flowers” and a necklace, all she needs it furred leggings, some fresh snow, and a model with…

Winter Is Here!
We can NOT get over this look! This is DragonHeart, finally modeled by its owner #aeonjane of #studiofrontstreet. As a professional photographer, it takes a little time to get the chance to step in front of the camera, but when you are this talented and beautiful, it’s worth waiting for. This was the first patterned…

Dragon Heart
Have you seen it modeled? This is the hauberk we call Dragon Heart, made earlier this year and modeled here by a beautiful cosplay model. The shirt’s owner is the photographer, so we hope to get shots of HER wearing it soon, but in the meantime these photos are too gorgeous not to share.

Named for the new owner, this is our favorite Hauberk to date. 8 weeks, 16,885 rings of 1/4″ 16 gauge anodized aluminum, 500 rings of 5/32″ 18 gauge, 80 large scales, 20 smaller scales, and a whole lot of obsessive “just a few more rows!” I can’t wait to see what we do next.

The Courage of Color
When most people think of chainmaille, they envision silver—cool, metallic, traditional, reminiscent of knights and history books. However, modern chainmaille, the kind we weave ring by ring, presents a completely different narrative. It bursts with color, exudes expressiveness, boldness, and for many, that boldness can feel a bit intimidating. We encounter this scenario frequently: someone…
Chainmaille as Modern Armor: Why We Wear What Makes Us Feel Strong
There’s a reason we reach for certain pieces when we need to feel grounded, brave, or a little more ourselves. Jewelry has always been more than decoration. It’s a signal, a story, a shield. And for many of us, Chainmaille is the closest thing we have to modern armor. We don’t expect battle, but we…
Bold is Beautiful. Wearing a Statement Necklace with Ease.
This Byzantine chainmaille necklace—three lush shades of green, held together with larger silver rings—might seem bold at first glance. It’s intricate, significant, unapologetically present. And yet, on her, it doesn’t overwhelm. It enhances. There’s a quiet confidence in choosing a piece that others might call “too big.” But what does that even mean? Too bold…
