About Us

Custom designer jewelry
by Robert and Debra Shinn

Welcome to our new additions for 2008!

Handmade chain necklaces for eveyone!.
We start this new year by introducing our new lines of chains and necklaces. Each is artistically hand wrought from sterling silver. Each is made by us for each customer and can be adjusted to whatever length you need. Consider a matching necklace and bracelet set.

For information about our classes , go to our Workshop page.

Heavy Chain Necklace







This unique and heavy chain is designed as a man's necklace, but one at a show was mistaken for a woman's belt! The links are hand forged from silver wire, not hollow tubing. And we do mean heavy; the longer necklace weighs almost a quarter pound! The large links are just over half an inch (13 mm) wide. One on the bottom has been turned up so you can see they are not stamped from thin flat metal. Holding these together are pairs of smaller links, each still more substantial than those you find in most men's neck chains. It has a somewhat rugged appearance, but still flexes and flows very supplely.
Indicate in the comment box whether you prefer a lobster claw or toggle closure. The toggle gives this chain almost total adjustability, using any large link as its ring.

Sterling silver.
If you need a size you do not see here, please contact our silversmith.


30 inch necklace - $340.00



20 inch necklace - $230.00



Bracelet - $90.00
Sizes 5 to 9 inches, please indicate length in comment box.


Wolf Paw Bracelet



Like wolf paw prints across the snow, these flat links create a powerful image across your wrist. Over half an inch wide, it wears comfortably. Both ends terminate in a stout hand wrought chain. Consider a matching necklace, perhaps with a special pendant.
If you would like some other track on a bracelet, please contact our silversmith. We can even do a chain of pet silhouette links!
Indicate in the comment box whether you prefer a lobster claw or toggle closure. The lobster claw gives this chain over an inch of adjustable size.

Light and Shadow Necklace



A true Southwestern pattern, these large, open links alternate smooth wire with twisted wire. We have yet to see a machine that can do this out of solid wire! Light, but strong, the individual links are over a quarter inch wide, still making it easily visible to all.

Indicate in the comment box whether you prefer a lobster claw or toggle closure.

Art Nouveau Chain



Made after a century old pattern, this chain revives the spirit of Art Nouveau. Ovals with swirls alternate with diamonds enclosing circles. Light and airy, it is a bit more feminine. We consider this our most elegant chain to date. The diamonds are almost half an inch across, the ovals an inch long.

Indicate in the comment box whether you prefer a lobster claw or toggle closure. The lobster claw gives this chain over an inch of adjustable size.
