Hearts & Dragonflies Chainmaille Jewellery
Chainmaille is an ancient craft, originally used to make armour but now is more likely to be used to create beautiful jewellery. It is the process of linking sometimes hundreds of small metal rings together into patterns to create beautiful pieces of jewellery.
Ever since I was young I liked to make my own jewellery, my sister and I would buy beads and sequins from a local craft shop and make our own earrings and bracelets. A couple of years ago I started to make beaded jewellery and my friends would often ask me to make them something. It was while I was shopping for beads on the internet I saw a kit for a chainmaille bracelet, which I bought and was instantly addicted. After about a year of making chainmaille jewellery as presents for family and friends I decided that I would try and make my hobby pay for itself. I started selling my jewellery at craft fairs around my local area and eventually set up this website. I love making chainmaille jewellery and trying to master new weaves - there are so many that I am sure that I will be doing this for some time yet!
