Bear Link

bear-link-w-large-lotus-2

Named for Oso Chaves, the new Bear Link is finished. These chains are slow going, the links are all cast individually, cleaned, sanded and sawed open. The links are then fit together in a strand, open ends hammered shut and then soldered back together. It ain’t fast but it’s correct. First sizes available are the #3 & #4. Standard lengths are 30″ and 24″ and they’ll mostly be fitted with the No. 9 clasp.

The first two chains made were a 22.5″ #4 w/gold rosette on the clasp and a 30″ #3. At the same time I also finished a Large Lotus Pendant w/gold rosette & white diamond surround and #5 double sided Spanish Cross, w/white diamond and ruby. All 4 pieces were firsts. They were made for a friend of ours in Florida. He ended up taking the cross and the shorter chain. The 30″ chain and the Large Lotus pendant are available.
