Japanese Chainmail Keychain

Durable, unique, rugged--this handmade Japanese chainmail keychain and wallet chain combines being a practical accessory for a busy life while also being a sensory and aesthetic delight. Linked of steel like samurai armor was, this versatile chain makes great lasting birthday or anniversary gift.

My work on my other fidget items led me to think about other ways to work sensory input seamlessly into daily life. As someone who links steel for a living, I know the importance of good tools--they need to not just look good; they need to feel good, and last a really long time. I wanted to build something that would appeal to both people’s sense of beauty and practicality. I created this chainmail pattern myself, and I’m quite pleased with the result.
