There are nearly limitless possibilities with chainmail, whether it's variations in
the weave used, materials, colors, size, etc. The items shown on the main site are a sampling of the
various options available, and are typically sized to an "average" size. If you see something you like
but would like it made differently from what is listed, odds are good that I can make it as a custom
piece. Many times depending on the modification, there is little to no additional charge from the piece's
regular price. Listed below are some of the more common vaiations done for custom pieces.
- Color: For many pieces, like the Gothic Lace Chokers, the color rings can be changed.
availability of colors depends on what I have in stock at the time, so it may vary. However most times
I'm willing to order specific colors if they're available, it will just take longer for the piece
to be delivered. Most of the time I do not charge for a change in color.
- Size: I size most items to what I feel the "average" size should be, if there is something
you want but would like it smaller or larger than listed, I can usually adjust the size of a piece
with little difficulty. There is often a change in price (less, or more) depending on the adjustment
made, this is to compensate for the change in materials used and the total time to make the piece.
- Material: The material listed for a can be changed to suit you desires, however, like the
colors, it will be based on what I have available in stock at the time. the current list of available
materials is as follows:
- Stainless Steel
- Brass
- Bronze
- Aluminum
- Annodized Aluminm (in various colors)
- Sterling Silver
- Gold
- Enamled Copper (in various colors)
Prices will vary based on current market price of the materials requested.
- Weave: For many pieces a different weave can be used, but will often times greatly affect
the overall appearance of the piece. Some pieces can not effectively handle a chane in the primary
weave pattern
- Ring Size: Differeent sized rings, either in diameter, or metal gauge can be used to create
a different look to a piece. This often drasticly changes the overall look of the piece, and some
weaves will not maintain themselves using differnt ring sizes.
Edging/Trim: We can also incorporate differnt edgings and trims into you pieces, using different
materials, colors, or ring sizes and weaves. This option is usually most suitable for apparel and armor
pieces, although it can be incorporated in to several jewelry pieces.
Inlays: If there is specific picture, design, monogram, pattern, etc that you would like worked
into a particular piece, we can consult with you about having an inlay put into your piece.
From Scratch: Got an idea of something you don't see on the site? Or maybe something you saw a
picture of once, or at a ren faire? Want something built from scratch? We'd be happy to do that for you.
We will work with you to create the piece of your dreams. Even if its not something we normally make, we're
always up for a challenge and the opportunity to try something new. Just contact us and we'll consult with
you about pricing, materials, design, and time to get you what you're looking for.
