NEW BRACELET ADDED!!! Titanium and Stainless Chainmaille bracelets - Grade 5 (6Al-4V)

[Jumpmaster]

I just finished a few bracelets and knowing how much we all like Titanium, thought I would offer them here...

All are made of Grade 5 Titanium.

The first is a 4-in-1 Half Persian made with 14 gauge rings. This is a large bracelet...it would look best on folks with large wrists. This is $140 + shipping.

The second is a 4-in-1 Half Persian made with 16 gauge rings. This bracelet is pretty universal...anyone, male or female, large or small wrists would look good in this one. This one is $110 + shipping.

The third is also a 4-in-1 Half Persian made with 18 gauge rings. This bracelet works best for females as it is a thinner gauge ring and more "dainty". This one is $90 + shipping.

Like the second one, above, this one is a 4-in-1 Half Persian, but is made with 16 gauge rings that have been anodized blue. The shades of blue range from a deep blue to teal/aqua. They look stunning...I love the color on these. Price for the wonderful blue Ti goodness: $120 + shipping.

3-in-3 solid Grade 5 Titanium bracelet (16ga, 1/4" rings) - $110 + shipping:

16ga, 3/8" ring Full Persian - $100 + shipping:

Titanium 18 gauge 1/4″ Full Persian Bracelet – $75 + shipping:

Titanium 16 gauge 5/32″ Bias Weave Bracelet – $90 + shipping:

Bracelets will be sized to fit your wrist, up to a total length of 10 inches. That should cover most folks wrist sizes except for very large folks. For optimal fit, I would measure your wrist snugly and then add at least 1.50" to that...I find that very comfortable for myself.

Some of you already know this, but Titanium is a beast of a metal to work with and it is also several times more expensive than stainless rings. Due to its greater strength and tendency to hold its shape, this makes it extremely difficult to work with. From now until further notice, I can ONLY accept US Postal Money Orders (These are the kind you buy at the post office). If you really, really need to use some other payment method, please contact me and I will work with you on a case-by-case basis...I will do my best to accommodate you. I will ship with insurance and delivery confirmation. U.S. sales only, please, unless you are willing to pay for a trackable method of shipment.

I am not sure if I will make any more of these any time soon as they took a long time to do and a great deal of physical effort as well. And it was really dang expensive to get the rings! But they look outstanding...I really like the look of these bracelets and especially the 4-in-1 Half Persian weave.

Here are some wallet chains also...all wallet chains are made to 18" for the length of the chain itself, before adding attachments (snaps, swivel, etc.) I can make them longer for an additional cost per inch of length.

Titanium 3-in-3, flame-colored, 16ga - 1/4" rings, with stainless steel clasp - $275 + shipping

Same chain, regular Titanium finish - $245 + shipping (shown with the included stainless clasp.)

Titanium 4-in-1 Half Persian - $235 + shipping (Includes large, solid stainless steel snap clasp and a heavy-duty stainless swivel and split ring):

I also have 304 Stainless and can make bracelets from those too. I will probably make another full Persian or Helm Chain with them next.

All my items come from a smoke-free home. First to post "I'll take it!" in the thread gets it.

Thanks for looking! I will get pics posted up here tomorrow.

Can I get a pick of number 3 please?!

[Jumpmaster]

Adding pics...
Here are some pics showing some stainless steel bracelets and wallet chains I've made. You can generally mix/match the brass/black magnetite/stainless rings...it takes keeping a tremendous amount of rings in stock to do any pattern with any combination of rings, but I do my best to keep a lot of different rings here:

All of the items on this post are all stainless steel (usually, grade 304) with other materials (brass, bronze, etc.), as noted.

14 Gauge Byzantine Pattern – Bracelet: $55 + shipping...Wallet Chain: $80 + shipping:

Black and Shiny Stainless Double Helm Chain – $120 + shipping:

Helm Chain – $55 + shipping:

Stainless European 6-in-1, 1/4″ 18ga rings – $75 + shipping. This one is a huge PITA to make...I should probably charge more for it due to the amount of work it takes to make it, but I'll leave it at this price for now...

Black magnetite coated and shiny stainless Helm Chain - $60 + shipping:

Black magnetite coated and rose anodized Titanium Helm Chain - $75 + shipping:

Bronze 4-in-1 Half Persian - 14ga rings - $55 + shipping:

Brass and stainless 3-in-3, 16ga 1/4" rings - $60 + shipping:

Thank you.

The titanium rings give these bracelets a very unique feel and even a very different sound to them. The 14ga one is substantial...it is light for the size rings used compared to stainless, but has enough mass for you to know it's there. Titanium is also neat because it matches your body temperature pretty quickly. I've always noticed that with titanium watch bands...my bracelets are the same.

[Jumpmaster]

I can also do keychains that are a bit wider than this...the 3-in-3 works well as a keychain and I have a couple of other patterns that work well for keychains also.

Keychains are about 1.5" x 3" and are $20 for stainless and $45 for titanium (3/8" ID, 16ga rings)

I made another blue anodized bracelet, same as the one that sold. After this one goes, I don't think I'll have enough rings to make a third one so when I reorder, I'll probably order a different color of rings. So if you want a blue one, I think this is it.

On that note, if you have a special request for a particular color, I can order whatever color anodized Titanium rings you'd like. I'll need prepayment as this will be custom made for you and so I can order the rings. You can have your bracelet done in 18ga, 16ga, or 14ga. Colors available are Bronze, Gold, Light Blue, Dark Blue (the color of the blue one available now), Rose, Violet, Purple, Green, and Teal. Shoot me a PM with what you'd like. Thanks!

If you're not into wallet chains, that's ok...the wallet chain can also be used to put a nice titanium whole ring on the end so you can attach your keys or pocket tools to it. You put the keys and stuff in your pocket and the other end is attached to your belt loop...now you have a quick way to get at your keys and all without having to dig around in your pocket for them.

I've just finished a few keychains...this one is a Japanese 8-in-2 pattern that works very well for keychains. You can put it on the (included) split ring two different ways for two different looks. It is made of approximately 16ga stainless rings (308) made of welding wire from which I created the rings myself (and broke two drills in the process which is why I buy them already made now... )

Also shown below are the European 8-in-2 pattern and European 4-in-1. These keychains are done in stainless and have a nice weight to them. They can also be done in Titanium. Please contact me to see what patterns are available in Ti as it will depend on the gauge rings I have at the moment.

All keychains are $28 shipped within the US. They can be done in stainless as shown below or in black magnetite coated stainless.

Japanese 8-in-2 in 16ga stainless:

European 4-in-1 pattern in 18ga and 16ga stainless. This pattern can also be done with shiny stainless for the smaller rings and black magnetite coated stainless for the larger ones...looks really nice done that way, similar to the helm chain in the first post.:

European 8-in-2 pattern in 16ga stainless (308), also known as "King's Maille":

Ok, the gentleman that bought the previous blue anodized bracelet received it and absolutely loves it. I put a new picture in post #3 that shows the deep blue color of this bracelet much better. It's an awesome color.

I really wish you all could hold these in your hands...the pictures really do not do them justice at all.

These would also make great Christmas presents! If you're thinking of these for Christmas, please order now so I'll have time to have the rings shipped here as it takes a couple of weeks for them to get here.

If you're ordering for a gift, the 14ga ring bracelets work best for men, the 16ga rings work well for both men and women, and the 18ga rings are great for women and children. They are all extremely comfortable to wear.

I just finished a new Half Persian 4-in-1 using my old school homemade rings. The rings are not "perfect" like the new ones I'm buying so this one is a little more affordable. It looks just as good when worn as the ones I make with the new rings, but if you take it off and lay it out straight, the variations inherent in making home made rings will be apparent.

So, I'm selling it at a discount...this is the last of these size rings I have. It is currently 8.25" long with a #2 BP clip for the fastener. The rings are approximately 16 gauge and are made of stainless welding wire.

This one is $38 shipped within the US. I can size it down if you need me to, but cannot make it any larger because I don't have any more rings like this.

Thanks!

[Jumpmaster]

Ok, well I finished another one last night...I hope y'all like this one. I think it looks pretty cool...it is stainless steel (black magnetite-coated) and brass. The brass are rings I made from brass wire and are approximately 16ga, as are the black rings. It is about 9.00" right now and will have a BP #2 clip for the fastener. I can lengthen or shorten it as needed to fit your wrist. It is the Helm Chain pattern. I think this pattern looks really nice in black/brass. I have enough rings to make one more of these, in case more than one of y'all would like one.

Same as the other stainless bracelets...$55 shipped within the US. This one is SPF, but I can make you another one just like it...have plenty of rings for one more.

I can ship this out for you tonight.

I just got home and the mailman was good to me today, one new light, and one new bracelet!

This thing is TOUGH! I went with the Black Magnetite Coated and stainless helm chain and I absolutely love this thing. Solid, masculine, and plain bad ass. Im really not one to wear jewelry, but this thing is so much cooler than typical jewelry type bracelets, ITS FREAKING CHAINMAILLE!

Jumpmaster, think you can make me some matching chainmaille pants?

PLUS its 100% handcrafted by a talented US Soldier. Thanks agin JM-99!

[Jumpmaster]

Thanks, Cap...I'm glad you're happy with your bracelet!

I wish people could handle these...they look so much better in person and handling them makes a big difference. These are not the stupid, cheap aluminum ones you see everywhere...I only use Titanium, Stainless Steel, and in limited cases, brass.

These are pretty much custom, folks...if you want one of the patterns I have shown, I will make it for you to the size you need if I don't have it done already.

Just finished another one...this one is the European 6-in-1 made from 18ga 1/4" inner diameter rings. It is about .75" wide and lays nicely on your wrist.

It took a much, much longer time to make this one (as well as many more rings), so I need to sell it for $72 shipped within the US. I can lengthen or shorten it an inch or two for this price. It will include either a BP #1 or #2 clip (your choice).

Thanks!

[Captain Spaulding]

I have been wearing it since I received it. Only two days, but I have received a few compliments on it already.

One from a rather HOT random chick I ran into at the sub shop. :hitit: Its definitely a unique piece. When she asked about it and I said it was hand made chainmaille, she said "like knights used to wear?"

I said "exactly"

[Jumpmaster]

That's pretty cool! See, these really are useful!

JM-99

[Captain Spaulding]

Very useful!

Just had to post another pic. Im going to order another one in titanium next payday. I love these.

[Jumpmaster]

That looks great on you...thanks for the pic!

Anyone want a black/brass Helm Chain bracelet? I think I will make another one today.

JM-99

[LukeHot]

does the colored metal rub off on your skin if you sweat?

[Captain Spaulding]

Mine doesnt! I have been wearing it since I bought it and its still been high 90's in California. Its been getting sweat and when I shower with it it gets wet of course. I just dry it very well and its all good.

[Jumpmaster]

Thanks, Cap...yeah, the black magnetite should hold up very well.

Once I finish them, I give them a quick wipe-down with my TuffGlide cloth and recommend folks do the same to maintain them. It should take care of displacing any water and help maintain the finish. It should be fine as long as you just dry it off after getting it wet.

Also, I need to ask y'all a favor...if you are considering buying one of the anodized titanium bracelets, please PM me with which color you'd like. I'm about to order more rings and the shipping is very expensive so I need to try to consolidate orders for rings.

Thanks!

Ok, I'm going to offer you all a deal here:

From now until 11:59pm on Sunday, October 3rd, 2010, if you buy one of my bracelets, I will include either a 550 cord bracelet -or- two 550 cord keychains (your choice) with your bracelet.

Please PM me if you have questions or would like to order a bracelet.

JM-99

[Captain Spaulding]

I like my first one so well, Im ordering one for my GF. Black Magnetite with "rose" titanium! Per my PM

Oh, and for my "free" paracord bracelet: solid black would be cool! 8" wrist!

[Jumpmaster]

Note: I have another black magnetite stainless and brass Helm Chain bracelet finished if anyone's interested. Had really great comments from the fellow that bought the last one. This one is the same price...$55 shipped (includes insurance and DC)




Thanks, Cap! I'll have your bracelet in the mail as soon as I finish her bracelet. I think you'll both really like it...I ordered the rings and they should be here in a couple of weeks.

The European 6-in-1 bracelet is sold.

I can make any other style in this thread for you, though and I will also have more rings here soon to make another Euro 6-in-1, if you'd like one.
