Custom Order - Stainless Steel Coif

Back on 2/17/09 I mentioned 2 custom orders. The first was a Byzantine bracelet and earring set. I've finally completed the 2nd order, a stainless steel coif. It is officially the largest and most time consuming endeavour yet, with just shy of 4,000 rings and weighing in at a little over 4.25lbs.
I'm seen here with the coif completed, but I added a mantle to complete the project. I'll be adding photos of the completed piece to my Flickr as soon as I get them taken. This is my first non-jewelry piece so things took a bit of trial and error, but I was really happy with how it turned out as was Chuck. Thanks Chuck for your order.

With the rings left over from this project I put together a European 6-in-1 bracelet, so be on the lookout for that soon as I get the clasps from my upcoming TRL order.
