    Roundmaille is one of my favorites to make and wear.
    This chainmaille bracelet began its life as a coil of silver wire. It was then hand coiled and cut into a pile of shimmering rings. These little rings were then woven, one by one, into a classic roundmaille patterned bracelet. It is heavy enough [...]

    Interview Jan. 2009 - ~andrewk1969

    First of all before we start answering questions it is important to know that
    Makin the Best of It and Chainmaille by MBOI are one company with Makin The Best
    of it being the parent company of the two.

    We are comprised of a husband
    and wife team, with my wife Kimberly, being the originator and president of our
    little craft business.
    What do you like best to create?

    Chainmaille jewelry is my
    preferred outlet for my creativity. My wife though has much more varied
    interests such as ornamental wire wrap and painting. I could not even begin to
    list all the different crafts that she is involved in.
    As for me, chainmaille
    has given me and my wife, who is a fellow femailler, a way to express ourselves
    and have a highly marketable and unique product that people enjoy.
    What is your preferred medium? Why?

    My preferred medium is
    sterling silver. Sterling is relatively soft and malleable, which is easier on
    the hands. It also shines up so pretty and holds its value

    Sterling Silver Persian Dragonscale Bracelet

    Check out this intricate piece.
    Sterling Persian Dragonscale Bracelet
    Sterling Silver Persian Dragonscale Bracelet
    This piece is not for the faint of heart-weighing in at
    a full 1.5 oz, this piece is a stunner to behold.

    The Persian Dragonscale bracelet began it's life as
    a humble mass of sterling silver wire. This wire was
    carefully hand coiled and saw cut into a shimmery
    pile of rings that were then interwoven, one at a
    time, to form a piece of wearable art.

    This bracelet measures 8 inches (20 cm) long from
    toggle clasp to bar and over 1/2 inch across. A
    feature of this bracelet is the height. It is 1/4 inch
    (1/2cm) thick.
