ITEM: The chain that defines the simplicty of chainmaille and chain link design, this is alternately called a Cuban, cable, or curb chain. Welded rings make this a legitimate piece of heirloom jewelry!

PEDIGREE: I make all raw and finished materials and perform every step of the manufacturing process bar none. Literally, this piece has been nurtured from the atomic level.

The word handmade has a legal definition for jewelry. Unfortunately, most who use the term don't represent their items properly. Encourage integrity, honesty, and ethical behaviors by choosing your purchases wisely.

MATERIAL: My precious metals are reclaimed from existing sources by me, sparing the environment and natural resources. There are no unfair labor or acquisition tactics, conflict materials, unknown manufacturing processes, or support for foreign entities. Pure silver is one of the most hypoallergenic metals with natural anti-microbial and anti-viral properties.

CONSTRUCTION: Precious metal rings are welded or soldered closed because they will fail otherwise. They are elegant, stronger, and smoother than butted rings. Quality jewelry uses soldered or welded rings without exception. Otherwise, it's just an over-priced, poorly made novelty item.

FINISH: Each link is sanded as needed to ensure a near-seamless finish. The completed chainmail piece goes through the tumbler for 24-72 hours. Additional detail work and inspections are performed between each tumbling session.

DIMENSIONS: This is the smallest stock size 2-in-1 curb chain I offer. Machines can make smaller ones but this is approaching my limit for micromaille. This is likely too fine for most men but I'm not going to judge. The pictured example is USA size 13-7/8 and its price can be found in the dropdown box. I can make virtually any custom size so email me if interested.

SIZING AND FIT: Chainmaille rings fit differently than regular rings. For sizing, use a thin ring as a guide and reduce it about 1/8 ring size. Regarding jump ring size, there will likely be several different sizes in the ring to ensure that it fits properly. This style is only guaranteed to 1/2 USA ring size increments though I'll try my best to get it more precise.

PRESENTATION CASE: This will come in an unfinished wooden box with cotton or fabric lining. While not as beautiful as the full-fledged custom boxes accompanying my chainmail bracelets and necklaces, it is much more gift-worthy than even the most artistic cardboard boxes. You can upgrade or personalize this Metals by Mark exclusive.

PAYMENT: FOR CHECKS, MONEY ORDERS, OR CASH I WILL DEDUCT 2% FROM THE TOTAL NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING! Inquire about barter. Otherwise, Paypal and other methods are accepted. Payment must clear before shipping. VT residents subject to 6% sales tax unless a valid reseller certificate is supplied. Buyer is responsible for all taxes, duties, and fees.

PRICING: This price is for any USA size up to 14. Larger sizes available for an upcharge.

USA SHIPPING: Insured shipping is $12 USD for continental USA sent by USPS Priority or First Class Mail. APO/FPO and AK, HI, or non-continental USA may be higher. I combine shipping if possible and ship almost every day.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: International shipping and availability depend on the item, its value, destination country, shipping method, and other factors. Expect to pay a minimum of $25 USD S/H/I to Canada or $35 USD elsewhere. Everything is fully insured with proper legal documentation. Buyer is responsible for all taxes, duties, and fees.

CUSTOMIZE: Custom orders are the majority of my work and definitely a specialty! Unlock your imagination and pick your poison: thickness, width, length, texture, choice of metal(s), ring size or shape, dainty or super-sized. I'll even make necklaces, belts, earrings, anklets...anything that uses a chain. It can be engraved or stamped with many font choices.

OTHER METALS: Any gold alloy or color is available in 10k, 14k, 18k, and more. Sterling silver is always a favorite though any silver alloy is possible. Titanium, niobium, and stainless steel sizes are limited and delayed because I must purchase wire from a commercial source. Copper works in all sizes. Though non-precious metals can be welded or soldered, they will have butted rings unless price isn't a factor.

PRECISION ASSEMBLY: I reject anything that doesn't function properly. Only then does fashion become the deciding factor.

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY: I express the truest essence of jewelry in all of my creations. Luxury is about elegance, beauty, discriminating taste, and high-quality workmanship...not compromise.

SPECIAL OFFERS: Owner is responsible for shipping costs both ways. I'll put it through the tumbler and check the condition. It will be returned the next business day unless I'm traveling.
