Chain Reactions jewelry is a mother & daughter, artisan, chain mail jewelry business that was born in a hospital waiting room four years ago. In 2010 my eldest daughter became ill with a mysterious disease that no one seemed to recognize. We spent hours in doctor’s waiting rooms and weeks in various hospitals. During this time I decided to learn how to make chain mail jewelry in order to have something I could take with me from place to place and keep my hands and my brain occupied | |
By 2012 it had turned into a full blown chain mail addiction and I had taught Cheyenne (my daughter) several weaves that she could do when she was stuck in bed. In 2013 we sold our equestrian facility and began to sell our chain mail jewelry at events held by the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). The SCA is a medieval recreation group that holds events around the country and around the world. We have been successful with our SCA sales and it is time for us to make the transition to a mainstream business as well as an SCA business.
Our pieces are not merely historical reproductions. Each design is extrapolated and adapted for modern or re-enactment use from motifs found on Norse, Celtic, and Anglo-Saxon archeological finds from the 9th and 10th centuries A.D. - the height of Viking culture!
Whether you are looking for jewelry with strong, documentable ties to medieval history, jewelry made with the finest in cottage craftsmanship, or jewelry that just speaks to your soul, the Vault of Valhalla has something for you! |
