The Sparkle in Sterling Silver. Distinctive by Design.
I thoughtfully handcraft every piece in my sterling silver collection in my Monterey Peninsula studio.
From elegant chain necklaces to delicate drop earrings, I hand-weave hundreds of individual silver rings to create intricate designs with beautiful movement and a luminous finish. I polish each piece to bring out sterling silver's natural brilliance.
Unlike traditional jewelry, my chainmaille designs are handwoven rather than soldered or fused. Their fluid construction lets me adjust a bracelet to your desired length, tailor a necklace for a comfortable fit, or customize drop earrings for the right proportion.
Each design arrives beautifully presented in a signature Myriad gift box, complete with a polishing cloth, care instructions, and an anti-tarnish bag.
Explore the collection and discover a sterling silver design that reflects your personal style, handwoven with care, timeless in its elegance, and made to be treasured.
Choosing your sterling silver
-
The Byzantine is my most-requested chain, and for good reason. Dense and rope-like, it has a timeless, vintage feel, catches the light beautifully, and never goes out of style. Another classic is the Persian chain, known for its simple pattern, it also has an elegant hand. This chain is great for pendants or layering. For a bolder look, the Serpentine is the statement piece of the collection. Its smooth, fluid weave twists gracefully with movement and is available in both mini and maxi versions. The Jens Pind offers a more delicate approach to chainmaille. Its intricate spiral pattern creates the appearance of a continuous twist, making it an elegant, understated choice and a lovely introduction to this ancient art. For effortless everyday wear, the Twisted Cable combines a lighter, more open weave with a chunky, contemporary look. Beautiful on its own, it's the kind of necklace you'll reach for again and again. Whether you're drawn to the elegance of a delicate chain or the impact of a bold statement piece, explore the collection and discover the weave that speaks to your personal style.

The main difference between sterling silver and fine silver is purity. Sterling silver (.925) is 92.5% pure silver blended with copper for strength. Fine silver (.999) is 99.9% pure, with a beautiful, soft white luster. Because fine silver contains virtually no copper, it resists tarnishing better. However, it is also much softer, which makes it less suited to chainmaille, where each ring has to hold its shape under tension. That’s why I work in sterling silver: it has the strength my woven designs need and the brilliance that brings each piece to life.

Sterling silver combines the timeless beauty of a precious metal with the strength and durability essential to my intricate handwoven designs. Its luminous brilliance brings each individual ring to life, creating necklaces that are as beautiful to wear as they are enduring. For those who love the luxurious weight of sterling silver, my Byzantine and Serpentine Maxi necklaces make a striking statement. For a more delicate look, gemstone pendants suspended from finely woven Jens Pind chains offer understated elegance. Please note that my chainmaille is woven, not soldered. Most necklaces can be adjusted to your preferred length for a more personalized fit. Explore my necklaces

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED?

Sterling silver, also known as 925 Silver, is a precious metal composed of 92.5% pure silver, blended with a small amount of copper for added strength and durability. While fine silver is naturally soft, sterling silver retains its beautiful, cool brilliance while offering the strength needed for everyday wear.
-
Sterling silver naturally develops a soft patina over time as it reacts with elements in the air. This is a normal characteristic of this beautiful precious metal, and you can easily restore its original brilliance. To preserve its luminous shine, I recommend storing your jewelry in the anti-tarnish bag provided with each piece and gently polishing it with the enclosed cloth. With a little care, your sterling silver jewelry will retain its beauty for years. For more tips, see my Care for your jewelry page.

Unlike conventional silver chains, my chainmaille designs are meticulously woven from hundreds of individual sterling silver rings, each formed, linked, and closed by hand without solder. This intricate technique creates a beautifully fluid chain that drapes like fabric, with a rich texture and graceful movement. Beyond its distinctive beauty, handwoven chainmaille offers exceptional versatility. Each piece can be resized, repaired, or even reimagined into a new design, making it jewelry that evolves with your personal style and can be treasured for generations.
-
Yes. Because the rings aren’t soldered, I can add or remove them to adjust the length of almost any sterling silver necklace or bracelet. Choose your length when you order. If your style changes later, send it back and I’ll adjust it, so your piece can change with you for years to come.
-
Yes! Many of my signature chainmaille weaves are available in coordinating necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, allowing you to create a beautifully balanced look that reflects your personal style. Pair a sterling silver Serpentine bracelet with matching drop earrings for understated elegance or complement a Byzantine necklace with Byzantine earrings accented by 22K gold lentil beads for a sophisticated mixed-metal look. Whether you prefer a perfectly matched ensemble or a more individual combination, my handcrafted designs offer endless ways to create a look that is distinctly yours.
Sterling silver cable drop earrings are an exquisite addition to any jewelry collection. Crafted with precision, these earrings showcase a unique intertwining of the Cable design, which adds sophistication and modern flair.
What sets these earrings apart is the artistic earring wire, thoughtfully designed to elegantly embrace the ear while providing a secure fit. The fluidity of the wire complements the cable design, creating a harmonious balance that captures the light beautifully, enhancing their visual appeal.
