Bold aluminum chainmaille jewelry

Disco Poncho, 2011

Won third place in the Wirework category of the 2011 British Bead Awards.

Made from over 1,000 anodized aluminum disks, punched by hand and linked with over 2,000 anodized aluminum rings.

The Urban Armor series began five years ago as a way to explore the possibilities within the mediums of beadwork and chainmaille. I wanted to create striking, modern designs using centuries-old jewelry-making techniques.
