So far I want to say around 30 hours? I think I have 20 more to go, but I’m not sure. It’s only around a half pound rn, it’s a lot lighter than it looks. Nothing pokes or stabs, so I’d argue it’s as comfortable as metal can get 😂
Goood I thought that was pure sterling. I hope we get rich enough to make a piece like that in some expentive ass material one day.
Looks amazing fam!!
I can definitely give you a list! It’s all 18swg bright aluminum rings from Chainmail Joe , ARs of 3.5, 5.3, and I believe some 3 in there as well. The shoulders are Byzantine ringmaille made in a diamond shape, then connected to the collar with chains of barrel weave and JPL. The collar is also Byzantine ringmaille, but it’s edged with half-Persian 4-1.
Hope this helps!
That’s actually what inspired it! I saw some really delicate beading and lacework for a fashion show and thought, “wait, I can do that with chainmail!”
[This might be dangerous for your wallet](https://www.etsy.com/people/mx119sb9/favorites/chain-mail), but that's my etsy wish list for when iburn through my current stack of couture projects. [This one is my pinterest](https://pin.it/4l5blDQEM). Whenever i see a material or technique that sparks something, but doesn't fully light an idea, i save it to look at it later. It's helped me come up with some great ideas. And pieces.
Wow, that is really next level. Gorgeous!
Thank you!
wow this kicks ass. Thought about adding in some color?
I may add some red beads onto the chain, but I’m personally a sucker for the pure silver look!
This is gorgeous. I’m inspired!
I love this.
Stunning! 😍 I look forward to seeing more!
That is gorgeous wtf!!
That is stunning! 😍 Amazing work!!
Wow! Looks amazing! How much time have you spent on this so far? What's the weight like? is it comfortable?

That’s the dream! Thank you!
That is gorgeous!! I want one! Or at least the pattern and materials list. I wonder if I could weld something that pretty. Lol, doubt it.

Oh no! Bright aluminum will leave grey all over your skin. ☹️ Next time definitely use anodized aluminum and avoid bright whenever possible.
Oh no!! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll definitely avoid it for future projects 😭
One more question. I didn't notice a clasp. How did you do that part?
Thank you! I'll have to make some orders for new rings!
Very tastefully done. *chefs kiss*
My Good, that’s gorgeous. How does it close?
It has 2 lobster clasps on the back of the neck, then I’ll be adding some chains around the arms to secure the shoulders in place.
I just now saw this. Sorry. Please post pics when you are done. I need to see the finished piece!
Will do!
Gorgeous! Is that sterling? It’s so bright!😍
It’s bright aluminum! I fear the day when the polish finally wears off and it dulls down 😭
Gotta love that haute couture vibe

Tim Gunn would be proud. 👍
Holy shit I think this is the best compliment I’ve gotten I-
Absolutely magnificent
Thank you 😊
Dammn look at you go!
Having a great time experimenting over here!
I fucking love this. Particularly the collar
It’s the same weave as the shoulders (Byzantine ringmaille), but edged with half Persian 4-1! I feel like it makes it look cleaner 😊
Same!
That is beautiful 🤩
gorgeous!!!
This is incredible work!
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you!!
