This page shows some of the chains I've made. They are usually quite large - there is no point in making small regular chains - that's what machines do well! You can see some other chains on the pendants and necklaces pages. |

|
A minor variation on the standard idiot's knot weave in that it uses square twisted wire. While tedious to construct, it hones one soldering skills marvellously.

This chain is actually fine silver, though marked as sterling. The problem of where to mark it was solved by adding the small plate in the clasp. |

Thai weave necklet with topaz |
|
This necklet featuring a topaz from India has a matching bracelet (without the stone). The catch (inspired by a burglar chain for doors!) allows a wide range of adjustment for a good fit around the neck, though it requires a second person to assist putting it on and taking it off.

This foldover chain was one of the first I made and was a present for my daughter on her 18th birthday. |

|
This chain was made from fine silver for ease of working and to avoid firescale. It was made by request for my daughter's 21st birthday. |

This centreball style chain is made of fine silver and was so hallmarked, though this picture was taken before then. This is a necklace, but the design would make an attractive bracelet. The style is called 'ball in loop". |

Not exactly a choke chain, but a chunky necklace of sections of curb chain separated by loops to add more interest. The catch style is one I have used elsewhere and is very strong yet less fiddly to operate than a bolt ring or caribiner. |
