About

A proudly queer owned business, me and my spouse make handcrafted chainmaille jewelry, accessories, and wearable armor. We have recently branched out into ceramic mini-sculpture that's hand painted; these serve as pendants, earrings, and keychain focals. Hilary discovered chainmaille about 10 years ago at Scarborough Renaissance festival and was bitten by the maker bug! Lucan recently added chainmaille to their bag of tricks, but has been a 2d artist for some time!

Artist Statement

Cadence Chains focuses on accessible, inclusive, and adaptable chainmaille jewelry and accessories, made primarily from anodized aluminum. Our work is light, colorful, and easy to wear. Chainmaille is an art that values precision, patience, and commitment to high standards. Each ring is opened and closed by hand with two sets of pliers. We find the weaving process to be meditative and grounding. We hope that energy finds you when you wear our work! We are a proudly queer owned business, and like to think we make modern day armor, fidgets, and adornments for people of any walk of life that can benefit from a bit of beauty.
