Custom Chain Maille Jewelry from the Bench of Hawkwolf

Women's and Men's Distinctive Jewelry with Renaissance Roots

Medieval maille was all about protection in battle. The interlinked mesh of rings diffused impacts and stopped cutting slashes from more seriously injuring the flesh beneath. Surprisingly enough, maille is still being used today for pretty much the same reasons: Meat cutters protect their hands with gloves made from it, and shark divers wear suits to protect from savage bites.

Now comes the best part. We use chain maille to decorate the body, your home, and your life!
We hand link each and every ring in every piece we make, from beautiful and decadent chokers, necklaces and bracelets, to incredible headdresses, candleholders and juggling balls.

And our best quality? Our custom items keep people coming back for more! We really enjoy creating THE item, just for you. We can incorporate your keepsake, pendant, or other items into a one of a kind hierloom. You can feel the love of our craft, and wear it near your heart every day!

Hawkwolf's Incredible Handmade Jewelry

You haven't seen rings and gems combined quite like this!

"I am sitting here staring down with smiles at my GORGEOUS new jewelry!! (I was wearing them, and was loathe to remove them, but I wanted to look at them, so I reluctantly removed them long enough to revel in their beauty!)
THANK YOU! Not only will these go perfectly with my on-order burgundy gown, but the reds are subtle enough that I will be able to wear with other outfits. I could totally see wearing these around the holidays. My necklace-loving coworker is going to be so jealous!
What you really captured for me was my wish for fancy-without-overdoing-it.
I really wanted elegant and refined, and you hit it right on the head! I'm amazed by the intricacy of chainmaille just thinking of that hard work, I'm so honored to receive these! The final effect is glamorous yet understated, JUST what I asked for!!"

This is the review of just one of many of our satisfied jewelry customers! We love to create chokers, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and handflowers that are unmatched in beauty and quality. Custom pieces are one of our greatest joys, the ones that are yours and yours alone, one of a kind works of wearable art!

Some of our favorite work includes wrapping beautiful gems and cameos in maille, incorporating them into chokers, bracelets and handflowers. We use many types of stones, including malachite, charoite, seraphinite, pietersite, tiger's eye, hematite, and much much more. Just using these stones, each a unique piece of art in themselves, creates a one of a kind piece that no one else will ever have.

We are all about accomodating your needs here at Hawkwolf's Armory and Accoutrements. A one on one rapport means that you get exactly the fit and design you wish, we work with you on your design until YOU are happy.

Hawkwolf's Finished Chain Maille Pieces

A small sampling of my items and custom work over the years....

Shirts, bikinis, and overskirts, Oh My!

Great items to wear, with something underneath, or not! :D

The interlinking rings in chain maille are actually quite a lot like cloth! It lays and conforms to your body, expands and contracts.

This clothlike quality lends itself exceedingly well to body adornment, such as clothing, belts, and more. We've recreated classics and designed great new fashions, from the obligatory maille byrnie (shirt), to spectacular belts with customizable buckles, and overskirts that are alluring worn over a cloth skirt, or without for more intimate activities.

We use many different weaves and materials to maximize comfort and strength. Fantastic dragonscale belts get attention wherever you go, clubbing in a floor length or short overskirt makes a great individual statement, and who knows what you'd do wearing one of our popular loincloths? :D

We've done a few fun custom orders also, including a chain maille rendition of Cassandra's bikini outfit from the Scorpion King, which I think turned out great by the way! Anything is possible with a combination of rings and imagination. Get in touch with Hawkwolf's Armory and Accoutrements, we'll discuss options, draw up ideas,and work out the details, making you the happy owner of an original piece of clothing that is uniquely yours!

Our original Dreamchimes, keychains, candleholders, and more!

Things you won't find elsewhere, and all in one convenient place...

Just when you thought you've seen it all, we bring out the fun stuff! We create juggling balls, hacky sacks, keychains to brighten up your day, and candleholders and lamps to light your evening activities.

Our Dreamchimes are a hit! This original idea comprises the best of 2 worlds, the intricate beauty of a dreamcatcher combined with the soft ringing of a windchime. They're available in many colors and sizes, and actually, we've never made the same one twice!

Also available are barrettes, with drapes and decoration, or without, that will fit any style you wish from minimalist to renaissance bliss. Currently we have 3 and 4 inch versions in many color variations, including the great patriotic versions shown!

Do you enjoy chess? We can create a custom colored board for your pieces. From your team's colors to the checkerboard's red and black, we can do it.

The bottom line is: Hawkwolf's Armory and Accoutrements enjoys making things for YOU. We get so much of our inspiration from your ideas and challenges! We wouldn't be where we are today without our loyal customers, the men and women who know what they want, and know how to get it.

Thank you so much for your continued patronage!
