Chainmaille

Jmaille Leather and Fine Arts found its beginnings in chainmaille. J began to experiment with the medium as an art form in the early 90's and has continued with it since. The material has an almost ethereal quality; it is like a fabric but has a significant weight while being extraordinarily strong. It moves organically, as if it has its own personality.

Jmaille is made of 316LSI Stainless steel or Silica Grade Bronze. We guarantee that they will last not for lifetimes, but for empires. Stainless Steel will not corrode and the Bronze is chemically treated to inhibit tarnishing. The clasps are also stainless steel- a feature offered only by Jmaille Leather and Fine Arts!

Both materials are exceptionally strong and we promise that they will not break or distend under normal wear and tear. We guarantee their longevity as jewelry for the wearer's lifetime.

Each and every ring is hand-made by J from wire so every ring is assured of its individual quality. He "knows" every single ring in each of his pieces. There are no machines used in this process.
