Sterling Silver Chainmail Bracelet (Silver Dunes) B038

Welcome to my Posh Market! I’m Georgia Siegfried and my brand is “Georgia Elizabeth.” I have been handcrafting artisan sterling silver jewelry since 2006. I made this lovely chainmail bracelet in the dunes weave, from 18 gauge, 100% Argentium Sterling Silver jump rings, which I make from Argentium wire. The bracelet’s is embellished with black Swarovski crystals. Its length is 7" and it contains 54 grams of Argentium Sterling Silver. It has an ornate rectangular box clasp. Chainmail jewelry is made by connecting jump rings one at a time. The process embodies patience, precision, artistry, and most importantly, a love of taking precious metal and beautiful stones, and transforming them into beautiful works of art. A little history about chainmail: The use of chainmail was prominent throughout the Iron and Middle Ages. The earliest artifact of chainmail is a 4th century BC Celtic chieftain's garment. What is Argentium Sterling Silver? Argentium contains 9.6% silver. Standard sterling silver contains 92.5%. That’s why it is sometimes called “925 silver”. All sterling silver contains an alloy, usually copper. British scientists discovered that replacing some of the copper with a germanium alloy, resulted in a dramatic decrease in the rate of oxidation. Argentium Sterling Silver is very tarnish resistant, and is brighter than “925.” Did you notice that shipping is free? Thanks for looking!
