Unzicker Design is the studio of artist Elaine Unzicker. Her unconventional use of chainmail as an element of designer jewelry and fashion accessories makes her work both eye-catching and unique.
Trained as a fine artist, the Ojai, California-based Unzicker became interested in medieval chain mail during her studies. The fluid movement of the mesh allows her to create body-loving art. She combines stainless chain mail with castings of plants to create unique purses, jewelry and wearable metalwork.
Her pieces are for sale on her website as well as from select retailers.
