Unveiling a brand-new design just in time for the World Oddities Expo in Minneapolis! This stainless-steel pinecone pendant features a vivid emerald crystal at the tip — dense, weighty, and made for anyone who prefers their jewelry bold and unapologetic.

Today’s piece: a slinky 16-gauge stainless steel bracelet in Comet Weave. I first saw the pattern from Josh Diliberto and had to try it myself. The movement is addictive—part jewelry, part fidgetable art.

Workshop Wednesday: Copper has been showing up a lot in the studio, and since pure copper clasps aren’t easy to source, I craft them myself. Each hook clasp is hammered, soldered, shaped, and polished by hand—strong, secure, and made to complement the finished piece.

Today’s piece is a monster of a bracelet—dual-row Byzantine in heavy 16-gauge copper, segmented with larger intervals and finished with a copper slide-lock clasp. Big. Bold. Beautiful.

Back to copper today! This wide Japanese 12-in-2 cuff brings together bold structure and airy, lace-like texture. A beautiful study in contrast and negative space. ✨

Today’s piece is the smaller companion to Tuesday’s Orc Weave necklace—still punk, still spiked, but more refined and understated. A perfect subtle flex.

✨ Workshop Wednesday! product photography! I tried building a new top-support system so earrings can be photographed without that pesky black bar in the shot. It’s better—but not perfect.

Got suggestions? Always open to smarter solutions!

Today’s piece is a chunky, spiky, punk-inspired Orc Weave necklace in solid stainless steel—bold, edgy, and absolutely unmissable.

Posting this one again because it’s still my booth’s biggest showpiece. And honestly, I’m excited for the day it sells—because then I get to design the next centerpiece. Can’t wait to see what that becomes.#Chainmail #Jewelry #BadTabbyDesigns

Workshop Wednesday update! I built a new bracelet display board for my booth — complete with guitar amp tolex for texture, edge molding, and stain. It made its debut this weekend and worked perfectly!

Life’s too short for subtle jewelry. This statement collar blends European 4-in-1 and folded Persephone weaves for a look that’s both powerful and graceful. #Chainmail #WearableArt #BadTabbyDesigns

For fans of bold, chunky style — this stainless steel necklace combines large rings with smaller woven clusters for a clean yet striking design. Strong. Streamlined. Unique.
