“Thank you for the beautiful bracelet . . . I love it, it is so exquisite.” — E.S., TX
“I just love the intricacies of chain maille. This [Quatrefoil] necklace is exquisite, small and very impressive. It whispers that it is special. And that’s the way to do it. Smooth transaction with fast delivery. Very accommodating artist. The exemplary [buying] experience!” — J.H., PA
“WOW! The square byzantine bracelet is a gorgeous bracelet. I was stunned when I first opened the box. I just looked at it for several minutes. Ordering the bracelet was seamless.Thanks for the beautiful bracelet, the short delivery time and your professional but caring manner.” — D.F., WA
“Beautiful work delivered quickly and with style and grace by a lovely person. This is my second purchase from cMaille and we couldn’t be happier. Beautiful stuff and a great buying experience.” — T.L., VA
“Wanting to adorn myself with something that embodies the Viking warrior culture, and a Viking ship being out of the question, I contacted Crescent Maille about a custom maille bracelet after a frustrating ebay and google search turned up only cheap, mass-produced, flimsy-looking bracelets being sold by merchants. Instead, I was looking for an artisan who could create for me a cultural and historical artifact – someone schooled in the history of maille, that had studied its forms, and had worked many years to perfect the craft of its production. Crescent Maille worked masterfully, cheerfully, and diligently to create for me something particular, lasting, and monumental. My bracelet is not beautiful only for beauty’s sake. Because even in its tremendous beauty it is also masculine, glorious, and terrifying, just like the history that inspired it.” — M.D., GA

“Today I received the Mobius-7 [necklace] that you have so beautifully made. I love love love it. It’s the kind of necklace that works well with practically every neckline and it’s the perfect length. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to take it off. I think they’ll have to pry it off me.” — K.H., NY
“Your sterling silver double spiral weave chain maille bracelet is a superb work of craftsmanship. I am impressed and delighted with the quality of this piece. The joining of rings is smoothly and evenly accomplished. The lovely bracelet feels remarkably comfortable and free-flowing. I highly recommend your jewelry and encourage anyone to select your work.” — M.S., CA
“These [full persian] bracelets are quite beautiful, both visually and to the touch. They need to be seen to be believed — the photos do not do them justice. They are luxurious and warm, and convey to me the care and attention put into each handmade one by the artist. Well designed and executed.” — T.C., WA
“I adore my Mobius Charm Necklace! It is exquisitely designed, and your craftsmanship superb. I love showing this beautiful necklace off to my friends.” — L.K., WA
“An absolutely amazing job and was extremely detail oriented. I am beyond thrilled to give these [byzantine rose bracelets and byzantine rose pendants] as a gift to my bridesmaids. Thanks again for a beautiful job!” — A.C., CA
“I love the [parallel weave] pendant! All the bracelets and pendants are a wonderful combination of art and craftsmanship. They are beautifully made and expertly crafted. It’s an ancient skill brought to a fresh yet timeless look. I think the outstanding photography that highlights each piece is another indication of the care given to each one by its designer and maker.” — P.K., WA
