I do chainmaile myself and if i can add a few suggestions. Aluminum is cheap but not sturdy. the rings can be bent open if tugged on hard enough. bronze and brass can tarnish and turn the skin green. just things to think about. Stainless steel is my favorite metal to use and wear. if she is alergic to metal you can use titanium. Expensive and super stong and typically great for people with sensitive skin, allergies, etc. quote:
ORIGINAL: MrFester I am looking to buy a custom designed and handmade aluminum chainmail collar. I am very particular as to what I want, so the cost is not quite as much an issue as the craftsmanship. Matching cuffs will also be needed. Below is the basic design I would like, X is aluminum chain and O is Bronze or Brass and 0 is the same but with an inserted stone in kelly green. XX0OXX|XXO0XX XXO0XX|XX0OXX XX0OXX|XXO0XX -|- Forgive the crudeness of the design as my ASCII artwork is obviously shitty. But the idea is the bronze/brass rings would almost appear to be an extension of the jawbone vertically on the collar on either side of the windpipe, the Kelly Green stones forming a zig zag down those stripes. The center would contain a Celtic Cross of silver. On the center back would be a larger ring for a leash attachment, preferably large enough to allow for two latches. Hopefully this entire image appears as clear to you as it does in my head. If not and you are willing to work with me to understand it, let me know.
