& Complimentary Express Post (Aus)
Effortless Refinement.
- Made from solid 925 sterling silver with an anti-tarnish coating,
- 99 year comprehensive warranty and restorations on all chains.
- Crafted by Italian artisans in the City of Gold; Vicenza.
PROVENANCE: VICENZA
The City of Gold.
When it comes to chain-making, "Made in Italy" is a requirement, not a label. I returned to my family's roots to find a weave that matches the weight and integrity of our Australian-made pendants.
Rated for: Saltwater / Sweat / 24-7 Wear.
The Source
I craft my rings in Newcastle, but the chains are weaved in Vicenza; La Città dell’oro. It is the only place on earth that treats a silver chain like a piece of architecture. While the rest of the world chases volume, Vicenza chases density.
The Standard
My Nonno wore the same pendant every day for 40 years. It didn’t survive because of Italian magic; it survived because it was a solid, engineered alloy. If it had been a hollow casting, it would have been in the bin by 1980. I learned early that for a piece to have a story, it first needs to have a future. That is why I refuse to compromise on the chain. These are not hollow fillers; they are solid artifacts designed to outlive you.
The Infinite Fit
Applies to Ignis, Pathfinder, and Orion chains; these feature open links, the clasp can attach to any point along the chain.
Pro Tip: If undecided, order the longer size. You can clip a 60cm chain at 50cm to frame a shirt, or wear it full length over a tee. You can always shorten a long chain; you cannot extend a short one.
MENS GUIDANCE
45cm (Choker): High on the neck. Only recommended for slim builds or high-visibility styling.
50cm (Standard): Sits at the collarbone.
Style Rule: Best for button-up shirts. Sits cleanly inside the open collar.
Warning: On thicker necks, this may sit too high.
60cm (Relaxed): Sits mid-chest (sternum).
Style Rule: Best for T-shirts/Crew necks. Clears the ribbed collar entirely and sits flat against the chest.
70cm+ (Statement): Sits at the solar plexus. Designed to be worn over hoodies or heavy layers.
WOMENS GUIDANCE
40cm (Choker): Sits high on the neck base. Best for open necklines.
45cm (Standard): Sits elegantly on the collarbone. The default choice for most women.
50cm (Relaxed): Sits below the collarbone. Great for pendants or wearing over high-neck tops.
60cm+ (Layering): Sits at the bust line. Ideal for wearing over winter knits or layering with a shorter chain.
BRACELET SIZING
Measure your wrist circumference and add 1.5cm for the correct fit. (e.g., 16cm Wrist → Order 17.5cm / 18cm Bracelet)
ASSEMBLY LEAD TIMES
While my rings are cast to order, my chains are held on the spool and hand assembled in Newcastle. This allows for a faster turnaround than my foundry pieces. Each chain is cut to length, polished, and finished with my signature anti-tarnish coating before shipping.
Australia / NZ: Approx. 3–6 Business Days.
USA: Approx. 1–2 Weeks via DHL. 2-3 weeks via normal Express Shipping. I’m currently offering free Express shipping on orders $500USD+ and free DHL Express on orders $1000US+. Pre-paid tarriffs to the US so no customs bill on your end.
- International: Approx. 3–4 Weeks. Please note if your country charges import tax they might send you a tax bill upon arrival. EU countries in particular usually charge 20% VAT at customs. It’s good to check before you order. (Need it faster? Email the studio for expedited assembly).
THE 30-DAY FIELD TEST (RETURNS)
I don’t believe in “unworn” returns. A chain is a piece of engineering; you need to test the weight. Once your chain arrives, you have 30 days to test it in the real world. Wear it in the shower, the gym, and under your shirt. If the weight doesn’t feel right or you haven’t bonded with the piece after a month of active duty, ship it back for a full refund. No questions asked.
THE FIT GUARANTEE (EXCHANGES)
Because of the architectural nature of the links, a chain cannot be “resized” like a ring. It can only be shortened or swapped.
The Policy: If you ordered a 50cm and it feels like a choker, or you ordered a 70cm and it’s hitting your belt line, simply send it back within 30 days. I’ll exchange it for the correct length, free of charge. (Note: The Ignis, Pathfinder, and Orion chains feature open links, so you can always clasp a long chain shorter, but you cannot make a short chain longer.)
THE ONE CENTURY PROMISE
This is not a standard consumer warranty. It is a 99-year service agreement designed to keep this piece in circulation for generations.
SCOPE OF COVERAGE:
Structural Integrity: If the metal cracks, snaps, or fails due to a craftsmanship defect, I repair or replace it. End of story.
Surface Restoration: Silver is a living metal. If your piece accumulates decades of scratches or wear, ship it back to the studio. I will refinish, polish, and restore the surface to factory specifications, free of charge.
HEIRLOOM TRANSFER
The warranty travels with the chain. If you pass this ring chain to your child in 30 years, the protection passes with it. As long as the One Century promise card is in your possession, the contract is valid.
EXCLUSIONS
This contract covers the object, not the ownership. It does not cover theft or total loss.
Sizing
Next day delivery on a free ring sizer with Buy now, size later. Make sure it fits perfect.
99 year warranty
99 year comprehensive warranty on all rings. Includes unlimited free restorations.
Argentium silver
Crafted from 940 Argentium silver to prevent tarnishing and enhance durability.

The rope chain, perfected through French technique and Italian craft.
The Tressé necklace takes its cues from Art Deco geometry and classic French braiding techniques. At 3.5mm, it’s delicate without being fragile, refined without trying too hard. The kind of piece that works with a cocktail dress or thrown over a white tee.
The braided construction creates texture that catches light from every angle. Multiple strands woven together form a dense, rope-like surface that moves like liquid metal around the neck. It’s this intricate construction that gives French rope chains their distinctive drape and shine.
Named Tressé (French for “braided”) because sometimes the obvious name is the right one. The technique creates chains that are strong, flexible, and eternally elegant.
925 sterling silver with anti-tarnish coating to get closer to the durability of my Argentium pieces. Available as both necklace and bracelet for those who appreciate coordinated metals.
Some chains snap because they use hollow tubing. I only stock solid link chains that I have personally stress-tested. If I wouldn’t wear it, I won’t sell it.
