+ I've been toying with the idea of a chainmaille bolo for a long time! Obviously it's a given with my style. My first ever attempt was while working at Blue Buddha. It had me weaving around a slide attempting to create a maille centerpiece and using leather bolo cord as usual. There are definitely other chainmaille bolos out there, but I wanted mine to be a little different. This chain uses smaller jump rings than I've seen out there. It also uses my go to up-cycled vintage concho pieces & actual bolo tips. Since the rings are smaller this piece takes A MINUTE to weave. Pricing this was hard but think of it as basically 2 necklaces in one... 

+ I have another version of a bolo I'm thinking about listing but honestly the rings are so tiny and the weave time was probably ~5 hours. I might list it and if whoever thinks it's worth my artistic design/time they can certainly have at it. Here's this style for now!

+ Concho pendant is repurposed from a vintage concho belt.

+ This chainmaille bolo is made from stainless steel jump rings. Each ring was hand woven and placed by me.

+ Bolo tips are actual vintage bolo tips. Base metal - probably white brass?  

+ This piece combines my unique 10+ years of experience with chainmaille jewelry and my western/ punk style.

+ Main concho piece is silver color.

+ The top part of the bolo is about 10 inches and the total length is about ~20 including the bolo tips.

+ All jump rings are made in the USA and/or Canada.

+ The main chain is stainless steel, connector rings and clasp are stainless steel.

+ Choose your concho from the dropdown. See photo with YELLOW number bubbles for options.

+ Some people may not understand the time involved in making chainmaille jewelry. Every ring is opened by hand individually then woven in a special way to create the pattern shown, then the ring has to be closed. Chainmaille takes time and talent to create - appreciate!
