Sunniva Jewelry Design

Accessories – New Orleans

I specialize in handcrafting chainmaille jewelry, weaving intricate designs out of hundreds of small metal rings. I design what I like to call "Edgy Elegance". I began my jewelry making far back in 2003 with beaded jewelry. I decided several years ago as a fluke to try a chainmaille bracelet, figuring it would drive me crazy and I'd hate it. Instead, I fell in love with it!! It is time consuming and detailed, but I find that the attention needed to create it brings me peace and calm (when I'm not throwing my pliers across the room because a piece wont come together!) I find such satisfaction in seeing the appreciation on someone's face from a piece that I created. While this is a part time endeavor, as I have a full time job and a 6 year old, I have a passion for jewelry creation that I just cannot leave be. I'd be incomplete without it.
