HyperLynks - The Chainmaille Artisan Collection™

The Chainmaille Artisan Collection™

Pattern Number One: Henrietta's Weave Bracelet ©

Henrietta's Weave was inspired by a courageous woman whose life was cut tragically short by pancreatic cancer. Her love for life, family, and all things beautiful in the world, continue to inspire all those who were privileged to know her. This advanced-level weave set in bright aluminum and bronze (and can be made in virtually endless colour variations) is a tribute to her endless warmth and compassion. Henrietta's Weave is exclusively available as a complete chainmaille kit from HyperLynks. May creating and wearing this bracelet evoke a true sense of awe and may Henrietta's story touch your heart as deeply as she has touched ours. One dollar from the sale of each Henrietta’s Weave will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Pattern Number Two: Henrietta's Star Pendant ©

Henrietta’s Star Pendant is the stunning matching pendant design to Henrietta’s Weave Bracelet which was inspired by a courageous woman whose life was cut tragically short by pancreatic cancer. Her love for life, family, and all things beautiful in the world, continue to inspire all those who were privileged to know her. Naming the first two weaves in our new Chainmaille Artisan Collection™ in her honour has allowed us to give a legacy to a woman who brought joy to so many lives. We hope that creating and wearing this pendant evokes the same sense of peace that we feel when gazing into its mesmerizing design. One dollar from the sale of each Henrietta’s Star Pendant will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Pattern Number Three: Infinity Weave Bracelet ©

Infinity Weave is comprised of virtually endless intertwined circles that link together to create an extremely complex and gorgeous flat chain. Although the weave may appear very delicate, the strength of the bronze provides the bracelet with the stability it needs to maintain its mesmerizing shape. Remember this weave is rated as an expert-level weave and will require time and patience to complete.

Pattern Number Four: European Elegance Bracelet ©

European Elegance is based on the basic European 4-in-1 pattern, but with a two-tone variation that allows this pattern to become a striking flat chain with a complex appearance. The large amount of bronze in this weave gives the bracelet a fair amount of weight and adds a great visual contrast with the bright aluminum.

Pattern Number Five: Willik Weave ©

Willik Weave is comprised of large, intricate bronze and aluminum units that link together to create a stunning chain. Featured here as a bracelet kit, the overall chain made up of Willik units also makes a fabulous anklet and necklace. The name of this weave pays tribute to a one-of-a-kind character that embodied the true spirit of perseverance, strength, and creative ingenuity.

Pattern Number Six: Clockwork Weave ©

Clockwork Weave is a stunning and intricate mesh of bronze and aluminum rings that almost appear to offer a glimmer into the complex turning of gears inside of a clock. The beauty of this bracelet is that it lies absolutely flat on the wrist, and from afar, appears as elaborate metal filigree work. Have fun with this weave by taking it to the next level by making it a watch “band” with a sophisticated clock face!

Pattern Number Seven: Sunburst Weave ©

Sunburst Weave allows for a dynamic mixture of bronze and bright aluminum rings to meld and radiate out from a central void, creating a stunning visual effect of spirals creating circles. The large amount of bronze in this weave gives the bracelet a fair amount of weight and adds a great visual contrast with the bright aluminum.

Pattern Number Eight: Haligonian Weave ©

Named in honour after one of our favourite Maritimers, the Haligonian Weave is a stunning paradox of simple elegance combined with incredible difficulty, earning this weave its “insanity” difficultly level. Even though this kit employs some of our smallest rings ever, the chain units, based upon Jens Pind Linkage (JPL), provides incredible strength. The bronze provides considerable weight and, with its stunning colour, forms a braided rope-like texture akin to the moors you’ll see in Halifax Harbour. One dollar from the sale of each Haligonian Weave Kit will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Pattern Number Nine: Brenda's Bouquet ©

Brenda’s Bouquet presents a collection of incredible micromaille flowers woven with extremely small bronze rings. The overall pattern produces a truly stunning and complex necklace that will definitely test your chainmaille skills. We are truly honoured to name this pattern in memory of a wonderful and supportive woman; proceeds from the sale of this kit will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Pattern Number Ten: Revolution Set ©

The Revolution Set provides enough materials to create three stunning pieces of jewellery: The Revolution Bracelet, The Revolution Pendant, and as a special bonus to celebrate the tenth pattern in the collection, The Hooty Pendant, an adorable and wise owl.

Pattern Number Eleven: SteamPWr Weave ©

As with the first ten patterns in The Chainmaille Artisan Collection™, funds collected from the sale of this kit will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. This pattern not only continues our fundraising goals, but was inspired as cancer made its presence in our home. This energetic and powerful bracelet, with its industrial (technological) edge, was designed and named in homage to the dedicated doctor that watched over (hence the central eye in the chainmaille design) and treated the vile disease with outstanding compassion, determination, and tremendous skill.

Pattern Number Twelve: Realignment Weave ©

Battling cancer is no easy task, and realigning one’s life at the end of a successful battle is a complex mission that is both challenging and rewarding at the same time. This intricate design represents the strengthening and reorganizing of life turned upside-down and the journey needed to put the pieces back together again, and is dedicated to every person who fights this courageous battle.

Pattern Number Thirteen: Glass Factory Weave ©

The precise beauty of gears, nuts, and bolts, coupled with technological ingenuity serve as the inspiration for this stunning bracelet. Incorporating both Czech glass with our signature LovelyLynks™ hand-crafted glass, create a whimsical steampunk focal piece to adorn your wrist with a custom tailor-fit rubber “conveyor belt” to complete the theme!

Clockwork Cogs Weave is the stunning steampunk variation on our initial Clockwork Weave. By adding platinum- and copper-plated gears, and alternating the focus between aluminum and bronze, Clockwork Cogs creates a fabulous visual statement whilst mirroring the mesmerizing and intricate technology found in clock mechanisms. As with its original pattern, the bracelet itself makes a dramatic watch band and individual units serve well as pendants or earrings.

Aeronautica will truly test your chainmaille skills and attention to detail as you create this stunning steampunk-inspired showpiece. Employing a number of gear pieces and Jens Pind Linkage (JPL) in a variety of metals and wire gauges, this asymmetrical necklace depicts the savvy Aeronaut in a triumphant mid-flight.

Gardenia is a stunning necklace of shimmering flowers created from micro anodized aluminum scales outlined in bronze and strung together with bright aluminum. Use the components from this kit to either create a dramatic necklace with five flowers, or a smaller piece with matching earrings.

Micro Cogs is a scaled-down version of our stunning Clockwork Cogs Weave. With a slight adjustment to the original pattern, weave an incredibly intricate gunmetal and silver version of tiny gear units into a fabulous fine chain.

Eye of the Beholder Pendant is a dynamic large pendant that can be worn either facing frontwards to focus on a captured rainbow hematite bead, or the reverse side, to reveal a funky steampunk-inspired design.
