I use simple hand tools to craft each piece of jewelry, one link at a time. The Roundmaille Transitions Necklace is woven from gold-filled and blackened titanium jump rings. One color dark, one bright. One metal heavy, one light. Both metals mix and separate, but harmoniously coexist in one cohesive piece.
