I have added another slide show with all of my current maille patterns. Currently the gold colored ones are made of Jewelers Brass which is much different alloy than other brass items you may be familiar with, the silver tone pieces are currently Bright aluminum again a much different alloy than usual aluminum. Aluminum brings with it a light feel, people either really enjoy the feel of aluminum or not. This type of metal is very strong for its weight and made specifically for the jewelery trade.
I will be creating pieces in sterling in the next week and as always will be happy to take special orders on: gold plated, bronze, copper, sterling, aluminum, as well as niobium, argentium silver (a more tarnish resistant sterling) and gold and the colored coppers & aluminum.
About Me
- DreamRiver Designs-Handcrafted Jewelry
- Cannon Falls, Minnesota, United States
- Debbie Downs, DreamRiver Designs owner and creator lives on a small farm in Cannon Falls Minnesota raising Dexter Cattle. Designing jewelry was a long forgotten childhood dream that is finally being realized and brought to fruition. I love the feel of the metals, and the fluidity of movement that the chain maille pieces have. Maille pieces bring to mind a more chivalrous time, full of fantasy and Knights. Each pieces is created from one single ring that is woven and entwined with others using ancient patterns & techniques. Wire wrapping of minerals and crystals allows them to be worn as pendants. I try to feel what the stone 'is' and wrap to accentuate its properties and appearance. DreamRiver Design pieces are handcrafted to last a lifetime of wearing and carry a lifetime craftsmanship warranty. I use only top quality gem stones, crystals and precious metals, and other quality materials for finished work. I also craft heirloom quality rosaries and chaplets.

Beautiful! They are ALL so beautiful! I loooove the citron pendant, because it looks so much like real Amber. You did an awesome job on the slide-shows, too. I just sat and watched the two of them going at the same time. I felt like I was at the Cinema! Very, very cool, Deb. Great job!!!
