Bonya's is the showcase for my handcrafted chain maille jewelry designs and original, artisan gemstone jewelry.
The chain maille jewelry patterns I use are variations of ancient designs. From the basic chain maille armor pattern of European 4-in-one, to the popular chain maille weave Byzantine - and every chain maille jewelry pattern weave in between - I form graceful and stunning chain maille bracelets, earrings, pendants, neck chains and necklaces.
The metals I use for my chain maille jewelry and artisan gemstone jewelry
range from .995% pure Copper to .930 Argentium Sterling Silver. All Copper is cleaned, polished and lightly coated with wax or acrylic to provide tarnish resistance.
The .930 Argentium Sterling Silver is strong, tarnish resistant and has a beautiful, bright, white gleam. Argentium Silver is responsible silver. Argentium guarantees traceability of it's raw silver and certifies that Argentium is produced using only recycled silver.
If silver is the new gold, then Argentium is the new silver!

With rare, and noted exception, I hand craft all my designs. This means I can customize
each piece to every customer's size and specification, giving them an unique opportunity to own a personalized art quality piece of jewelry. Whether deciding on a chain maille jewelry weave or one of my original artisan gemstone designs, my customers can be assured of getting what they want.
I also put the same attention to detail, patience and quality into my teaching. My classes are open to anyone, from beginner on up. I enjoy seeing the light of creativity glow in a new students eyes! I've rarely met anyone who I can't help to create a beautiful piece of jewelry.
