Custom Orders? Yes!

Crescent Maille will gladly work with you to negotiate and create a custom piece of jewelry. Below is a photograph of a work in progress: a Byzantine Bar bracelet made with gold fill rings. Gold fill rings aren’t kept in stock, and except for here and there in Limited Edition pieces, gold fill jewelry is not available in the shop. However, almost anything available can be made in gold fill (yellow or rose) — or 18K gold (in a variety of tones such as yellow, red, green, pink, and white).

Another type of custom order is for something offered in the shop, but made with larger/thicker rings. For example, the European 4-in-1 bracelet for sale in the shop is made of 19 gauge rings that are 5mm across; the bracelet is just about 1/2-inch wide. What if you want a 1-1/2 inch wide bracelet made with (much) thicker 15 gauge rings — a much more masculine piece? Almost anything in the shop can be made with larger rings.

Just contact Crescent Maille with your ideas.

2 More Necklaces: 3 Ring and Square Knot

Two more necklaces are available for sale in the shop. These, as well as the Striped Spiral (below) and the Daisy Chain (farther below), are all Limited Edition pieces. Most everything in the Crescent Maille shop is available all the time. Limited Editions, once sold, may or may not be made available again.

Many of these necklaces arise from experiments with oxidation.
