One only, ready-to-ship. I individually hand-make each item as a one-up "wearable art" piece. Please don't delay as I cannot necessarily make repeats.

Should fit most men with a wrist measurement (circumference) of 185-200mm (no larger). The chain length is app. 230mm (including toggle) and chain weight is app. 49.5gm. The links form a squared tubular shape, app. 9mmx9mm. The outer diameter of the toggle ring is app. 18mm.

The serpentine (box) link style is really eye-catching, comprised of numerous individually soldered links that interlock to form a stunning boxed tube (that looks a little like a snake). This size and weight fits me perfectly with a wrist diameter of 190-195mm.

Sterling Silver.

Scratches, lumps and bumps are makers' marks (not product faults) and are left or created by design to add to the handmade appeal. They are a part of each piece's story - I love them, and I hope you do too.

Sizing:

  • Please measure your wrist using a flexible tape or thin strip of paper, and follow the sizing recommendations above...

METAL COMPOSITION/ METAL ALLERGIES

The metals used in jewellery making (including Sterling silver - which I typically use) are alloys (mixes of different metals), and the composition is variable, not always known, and not necessarily what you would assume it to be.

Sterling silver (a highly prized metal for high quality jewellery) is an alloy of (at least) 92.5% fine silver and a small amount of other metals (usually copper, but possibly other metals). Sterling silver is less likely to trigger allergies than many jewellery metals, and I source my Sterling silver for NEW pieces from leading, reputable Australian refiners/ suppliers. I cannot, however, guarantee the precise composition of the alloy.

With vintage jewellery, or jewellery made from vintage components, the base metals may not be definitively known and the alloying metals cannot be established. Some of these pieces were originally forged well over 100 years ago! Whilst I only work with vintage items that I have strong reason to believe to be Sterling silver, any suggestion that I provide as to the metal used in a listed product comes from indicators such as hallmarks and should be treated as a "best guess" only.

Some people do suffer allergies to particular metals (nickel is one of the more common allergens, but not the only one). If you suffer metal allergies I advise that you DO NOT purchase vintage/ upcycled jewellery products and that you speak with your dermatologist/ health care professional and only purchase the specialty products recommended by them.
