Chainworks & Stainless Steel chainmaille Supplies

 RING SELECTION  and  misc.  INFORMATION

Because all of  Our rings are Hand rolled  and saw cut to order, We don't have to keep  pre-made rings in stock just material wire. This gives Us the opportunity to provide the widest selection  possible of made-to-order rings.  These rings are produced by Us here at Our shop, they are not purchased elsewhere  and re-sold. You are making hand-crafted  custom jewelry, and chainmaille. Why shouldn't  You have hand-made  custom rings?

                SHIPPING INFORMATION

  All orders U.S. and International  are shipped U.S.P.S. Priority Mail. Shipping charges are a flat rate of  $4.95 in the U.S. and $12.95 International . All orders are shipped in 3 - 4  business days .

                          OTHER METALS

 Although We only list stainless steel, We can provide You with all of Your metal needs...until  We can reccomend a supplier that will supply You with the same quality. After much deliberation We have to deceided to focus on just Stainless Steel & Titanium ring production.   Minimum orders for other metals currently are 1/2 pound in each gauge, Except sterling silver (5 oz.) and titanium (4 oz.) multiple ring sizes are O.K.
