Mens jewelry Chainmaille mens bracelets in sterling silver Roundmaille wave. Mens fashion by Arctida

Here is another addition to my mens jewelry collection, this time I tried a new chainmaille wave called Roundmaille. It is thicker and more massive than all the other chainmaille waves I've tried so far but it is still a bracelet with clean lines and crisp, minimalistic look.

Mens jewelry Chainmaille mens bracelets in sterling silver European 4-in-1 wave. Mens fashion by Arctida

I was going through my mens jewelry collection and realized that I haven't showed you one of my popular designs - *Dionysos*.

For this bracelet I use European 4-in-1 chainmaille wave. European 4-in-1 is most famous for being the weave used in European knights' armor. Each hefty, 18 gauge sterling silver ring is hand coiled, hand cut, and polished smooth before weaving the bracelet, heavily oxidizing and again polishing to a high shine. It’s finished with a tube clasp for easy, secure fastening.

Mens jewelry Chainmaille mens bracelets in sterling silver Box Chain and Full Persian waves. Mens fashion by Arctida

The Valentines day is approaching fast and I just realized that I haven't blogged about one of my best sellers for men! As some of you may know already, I love trying out new techniques but then again who doesn't, right :) and I have been working with chainmaille technique for a couple of years now. So this time I've made bracelets with Box Chain and Full Persian waves for my mens jewelry collection. These waves are close related and they produce more solid, bangle-like look yet they still have a certain flexibility left.

So here is one of my best sellers - Prometheus, sterling silver bracelet made with Box Chain wave. I name all my bracelets for men after Greek deities (I know, I know I'm a nerd :P ) and as this particular one, came out *in production* shortly before movie *Prometheus* went on screens, I couldn't resist that name, which probably makes me a double nerd *giggle, giggle, snort*. Oh and as you've probably noticed that gorgeous male model on the first picture, it is my hubby. I'm guessing he is part of the reason why this model is on of my best sellers, but psst! don't tell him that! :)

Full Persian wave

Chainmaille is an ancient art of weaving together individual rings to create simple and elegant jewelry. Each sterling silver ring is hand coiled, hand cut, and polished smooth by me before weaving the bracelet, heavily oxidizing and again polishing to a high shine. It’s finished with a simple lobster clasp for easy, secure fastening.

Chronos - Chainmaille mens bracelet oxidized blackened solid Sterling Silver. Handmade chainmail jewellery for Men by Arctida

Father’s day is approaching fast which gave me a chance to extend my men’s jewelry collection. I’m continuing to explore Chainmaille and I cannot stop :) There so many waves and possibilities to connect those rings! And the result looks so differently with each wave! Also once the bracelet is oxidized and polished it gets that typical *male* look but while it is still pure silver it looks more feminine (IMHO).

So here are my latest two waves that I tried, the bracelets have been oxidized to give them a more masculine look. These are substantial, weighty and masculine pieces of jewelry for everyday apparel or a special occasion. They create a statement yet they are more flexible than a solid metal bangle.

Sterling Silver Chainmaille Bracelet. Handmade unisex minimalism jewellery by Arctida.

Last week EST challenge's theme was "Simplicity" hosted by Kirschbits.

I love to explore new techniques and styles in jewelry making and then mixing them together. Recently I have started making chainmaille jewelry. Chain maille is an ancient art of weaving together individual rings to create simple and elegant jewelry. I love how diverse each wave looks just because I connected the rings slightly different!  Anyway for this challenge I decided to try one of the simplest waves and make a minimalistic bracelet. No gemstones, no fancy clasps, no oxidation… just shiny silver rings connected to each over. Simplicity at its best don´t ya think? :)
