Granulation, Keum boo, pierced, and original pattern Side Weave Mesh choker
Back in the late 90s, I began experimenting with my own chain patterns. I’ve created several, but my most favorite are the Vertebrate and the Side Weave Mesh. Both were inspired by the traditional Roman Side Weave. I wanted to create the look of that pattern in a wider, three dimensional, mesh (think chain maille) design. Each link is made of a fused ring of fine silver (99% pure silver). Hundreds of them are woven in this piece’s original weave to create the look of chain maille but with the flexibility and slender feel suitable for a choker.
