Information and advice

We work with several types of chainmail, which vary in the size of their rings and the cross-section and composition of the wire they are made from. In stainless steel, bronze or titanium, each chainmail has its own specific features and constraints, which we try to make the most of. Therefore, not all models are available in all finishes.

Chainmail

It is made up of small interlaced and welded rings.
Metals used are stainless steel, titanium or bronze.
The diameter of the rings defines texture and behaviour: fine mesh (ø 4 mm), medium mesh (ø 5 mm), large mesh (ø 7.3 mm) or XL mesh (ø 12 mm).

Each ring has its own tolerance (+-3%), which can lead to variations in dimensions for a given model. Our measurements are indicative only.

Chainmail is very strong. Do not wear it if you might accidentally hook it to something (during sports or while using a machine). Do not let children play with them.

Materials and finishes

The nomenclature we have developed is detailed here: reference - colour - material. Additional information.

AR - silver - polished stainless steel. Matifies slightly over time.
LIGHT - dark blond with possible greying - polished and heated stainless steel.
NU - shades of brown to blond - polished and heated stainless steel*. Each piece is unique, limited series.
CU - light brown to coppery brown, sometimes almost black - polished and heated stainless steel.
BR - slightly pinkish brown - sandblasted raw bronze. Finish: matt jeweller's varnish*.
DO - golden - bronze gilded with fine gold*.
BLUE - variations from bright blue to blue-grey or violet - titanium.

Clasps and primers are in bronze or brass. They are gilded, silvered, coppered or varnished depending on the piece.

Each series is unique, each piece is specific. Variations in colour from one production run to the next and irregularities even within the same piece are inherent in the artisanal production process.

*These jewellery finishes can be affected by exposure to cosmetic or corrosive products, or when in contact with certain skins.

Advice

Use the pouches and boxes provided to store your jewellery separately.

Avoid repeated contact with water and contact with perfumes, cosmetics or corrosive products.
Recommended cleaning: soapy water and gentle drying.
DO and BR finishes may deteriorate on contact with certain skins, the products mentioned above or simply over time.

We offer a renovation and repair service on request.

Stainless steel and titanium are neutral metals and perfectly hypoallergenic. As they are used in surgery, we are not aware of any cases of allergies.
Gilding and silver plating are done with real gold and silver. Avoid these finishes if you are allergic to these metals.
Our jewellery treatments comply with the most demanding standards.
