Chainmaille for the Modern Age

We’re The Velvet Zebra, a dynamic duo of chainmaille artists and creative storytellers hailing from the Pacific Northwest. We create unique metal jewelry that draws inspiration from historical weaves, practical craftsmanship, and the imaginative worlds we adore.

Each piece is meticulously crafted from real anodized aluminum rings, selected for their strength, color, and comfortable weight. Our designs are heavily influenced by Viking and Medieval styles, but we’re always designing 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 designed to help you visualize how each piece can fit into your own look, story, or universe.

For over 30 years, we’ve been creating bold, handcrafted Chainmaille jewelry that tells a story. Now, you can explore our full collection online—each piece designed to empower and inspire. Dive into vibrant colors, timeless craftsmanship, and wearable art made just for you.
