This piece is a truly custom take on my captured bead range of bracelets.

This one was made for my mum and each bead represents her nearest and dearest. Each birth month is represented with a semi precious bead.

If you fancy a smaller amount of beads if your family circle is small, I can do that as well by making it a hybrid chain instead. Space out the beads between bits of Byzantine. 🙂

Closed with a steel clasp for safe and secure closures.
Super tough and hard wearing jewellery that can essentially last forever when cared for properly. Steel is an awesome material that is scratch resistant and tarnish resistant. ✨✨

Prices vary depending on beads used.

This is currently the only sterling silver piece I have left in stock.
I’d love to make more of these and the other weaves in 925 sterling silver.
This one is a European 4-1 Chainmail Bracrlet and is 7 and 5/8 inches in length.
Silver has a real ethereal look to it. ✨
Closed with a silver clasp and hallmarked by the Edinburgh assay office for your peace of mind on the ring that holds the clasp in place.

This piece is priced according to the price of the silver at the time I made it. Unfortunately precious metals went through the roof so this is the last opportunity to claim a piece at the cheaper rate.
£170 plus £10 special delivery p&p

I’ve just changed the image on my last post folks to the original that I took. The enhancement app I used changed some of the letters on the plates.

The norn iron collection is complete. 😂
Each plate is engraved with a word or phrase that’s used here everyday.
Mounted on handmade chainmail bracelets and closed with a steel lobster claw clasp for safe and secure closures.

Each plate has been engraved by the super talented Elaine’s engraving. If you need something customised, you will find her most days at Ards shopping centre with the Crafty Crafters fayre.

What’s your favourite saying or phrase here?
Few of these I use on a daily basis 😂😂
Comment below with your favourite.
Cheers, Roro ✌️✌️

Yes it’s that time.
I know we’ve started to think about Christmas already so I bet yall have too.
If there’s anything you fine folks want from me for Christmas, please don’t leave it to the last minute.
I have loads of jewellery already made of course but for bigger, more complicated or intricate pieces I’ll probably need to order supplies so please let me know as soon as you can 🙂.
So ho ho ho and all that jazz. 🧑‍🎄🎅

🔮 Handmade Chainmail Pendulums 🔮

Something a little different for those who like their jewellery with a touch of magic. 😎✨

Each of these handmade pendulums combines two of my favourite chainmail styles - Byzantine chainmail and captured bead chain - woven together one ring at a time.

At one end you’ll find a steel pendant, giving you something substantial and comfortable to hold, while the other end is finished with a natural quartz crystal point.

Made with good intentions and good vibes from start to finish. ✨

These are perfect for divination, pendulum work and Reiki, with the flexible chain allowing the pendulum to move freely for readings.

Each one is handmade individually, so every pendulum has its own character. 🖤

If you’re looking for something a little different, mystical and completely handmade, these might be right up your street. 🔮

Message me if you’d like to claim one or would like to know more about making one personalised to you 🙂
Priced at £40 plus £4.50 uk tracked shipping 💌

⚔️ Helm Chain ⚔️

A seriously chunky piece of handmade chainmail jewellery!

This is my Helm Chain, handmade one ring at a time using 1.4 mm thick stainless steel rings to create this bold, sculptural weave.

Finished with a sturdy steel clasp for a secure closure, it has a fantastic weight and presence without losing that unmistakable chainmail character.

Whether you’re into alternative jewellery, historical-inspired pieces, or simply want something a little different, this one definitely makes a statement.

£35 + UK P&P

As always, handmade by me at The Viking Manshed. 🖤

So forged in steel is over and now I’ve this one to look forward to this weekend.
You will find me at the ballyduggan medieval settlement this Saturday only guys.
The gig is the two days but I am only free on the Saturday.
Come dressed up in any fantasy costumes and have a bit of craic before we start to wind down for the winter.
Hope to see you all there!
Cheers, Rory ✌️✌️

Annnd I think I’m finished. This was a custom requested piece 🙂
I was sent a reference image and was given specific chainmail types to be used.
So orders were made and palms were hatched and worked out in my own head. lol.

This is the result. It’s a monster piece for sure!! Took a bit of tweaking today and maybe a few swear words sprinkled in for good measure 😂😂😂

The necklace is a chunky helm chainmail weave with segments of Japanese chainmail hanging from it to create the main body.
I’ve used double ringed chain pieces to create a spiderweb pattern. And finished with steel spikes. Cuz why not.

Still have to do the math on this one so I’ve no idea on a price just yet 🙈🙈
I hate math. 😂😂
I’d love to know what you all think. Comment below 👇

Thanks for looking, Roro ✌️✌️
