HOT ! Handwoven 20g Foxtail Chain in Sterling Silver | Collector Works

This handwoven foxtail chain is a substantial sterling silver necklace defined by dense weave structure, dimensional movement, and disciplined metalwork. Built link by link from 20-gauge sterling silver wire, the chain carries both visual weight and fluid articulation. Forged in our Adirondack artisan jewelry studio, each chain is individually constructed to order in a custom length.

Architectural Form & Scale

The foxtail weave forms a tightly interlocking structure that creates both strength and flexibility. Each woven segment stacks in precise alignment, producing a rope-like silhouette that reflects light across the surface as the chain moves.

The weave density gives the chain a solid presence while maintaining smooth drape along the neckline. Hand-forged end caps transition the woven body into a secure clasp, creating a clean architectural finish from end to end.

This chain is built as a foundational collector piece—balanced between structural integrity and fluid movement.

Metal Composition & Visual Impact

Forged entirely in sterling silver, the chain carries a deep, dimensional surface enhanced by an oxidized finish. The darker tones settle into the woven channels of the foxtail pattern, allowing the raised surfaces of the silver to catch the light.

The result is a rich contrast that highlights the geometry of the weave while emphasizing the tactile nature of the metalwork.

Worn alone, the chain stands as a statement of material presence. It can also serve as a substantial foundation for pendants within a collector’s rotation.

Forging Discipline

Each foxtail chain is woven entirely by hand using traditional silversmithing tools at the bench. Individual wire segments are formed, aligned, and woven sequentially to create the continuous braided structure.

Once the chain body is complete, hand-forged sterling silver end caps are fitted and secured before the handmade clasp is installed. Every stage of construction is shaped and refined in the studio to ensure durability, articulation, and precision alignment throughout the weave.
