Yes! Many of our handcrafted pieces can be customized to suit your preferences.

Each piece is made in our Missouri studio, so small adjustments are often possible.

Along with our standard lengths, we’re happy to offer custom sizing (such as 16", 22", or other lengths) when possible.

Clasp options may include an S-hook or lobster clasp, depending on the design.

To request a customization, please contact us before placing your order. We’ll confirm availability and any pricing adjustments if needed.

All items arrive in a gift-ready box with care instructions—perfect for giving as-is. We don’t offer additional gift wrapping, but your piece will arrive thoughtfully packaged.

Argentium® is a premium silver alloy known for its brightness, durability, and exceptional tarnish resistance. Unlike traditional .925 sterling, Argentium® has a higher silver purity (most of our pieces are 935 or 940), plus a small amount of germanium that helps the metal stay brighter for longer.

It’s also naturally hypoallergenic and nickel-free, making it a great choice for everyday wear—even for people with sensitive skin.

For a deeper dive into why we use Argentium® and how it compares to traditional sterling, you can read our full blog post here:
What Is Argentium® Silver? (Full Guide)

Argentium® silver is prized for its bright white color, tarnish resistance, and lower maintenance compared to traditional sterling silver.

For everyday care:

• Gently wipe jewelry with a soft cloth after wearing
• Store pieces in a jewelry box or soft pouch
• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, chlorine, perfumes, or harsh chemicals
• Remove jewelry before swimming, cleaning, or heavy physical activity

Most pieces only require occasional polishing to maintain their shine.

Because Argentium® silver naturally resists tarnish, many customers find it easier to care for than traditional sterling silver jewelry.

It’s our patented tool that helps jewelry makers and metalsmiths cut clean, consistent jump rings with less strain—perfect for chainmaille, wire wrapping, and general bench work.

The Bench Pin version attaches to your bench pin setup. The Jig with Holder includes a standalone base for stability—ideal if you don’t have a workbench.

Prep the coil: Wrap your wire coil with painter’s tape to keep rings aligned.
Load the saw: Apply lubricant to the blade and slide the coil onto it gently.
Set the jig: Place the saw blade in the groove and secure with the alignment pin.
Secure and cut: Use the brass top plate to hold the coil and begin sawing slowly.

Tip: For full setup instructions, see the printed Quick Start Guide or watch our demo videos on YouTube.

Use a ring sizer tool: For best results, use a plastic or metal sizer.
Measure an existing ring: Match the inner diameter to a ring size chart.
Use a printable chart: Print a ring sizing guide at 100% scale.

Our premium silver chains are made from solid Argentium® 940 or 935 silver—never hollow, plated, or filled. These are ideal for everyday wear and pairing with our handcrafted pendants, offering exceptional strength, tarnish resistance, and a satisfying weight.

Some accessory chains, such as optional add-ons or complementary chains, may include plated components (e.g., gold-filled or sterling-plated bronze), but these are always clearly noted in the product description.

At this time, we do not offer curb chains or rope chains in Argentium® silver.

Our chains are thoughtfully handcrafted based on designs we can reliably produce and support in our Missouri studio. While we love the look of curb and rope styles, these require specialized manufacturing processes that are outside our current capabilities.
