ChrissyGemmillJewels

Though I've never had any desire to work at a Renaissance Festival, there's always been a part of me attracted to the fashion of that era. One day I decided I'd like a wide chain mail bracelet (as in that protective mesh that knights would wear under their armor) and decided to browse one of my favorite places to find accessories - Etsy. I think Etsy (etsy.com) has got to be one of the greatest sites to find one-of-a-kind, reasonably priced and high-quality accessories. During my search I ran across ChrissyGemmillJewels. She is a fantastic metalworker, and I love how her jewelery is intricate and delicate, yet tough at the same time. I've got a couple of her chain mail pieces featured below, as well as some examples of her gorgeous flower necklaces.
