Introducing our Sterling Silver Byzantine Chain with Ovals — our modern interpretation of an ancient design symbolizing artistry and strength since the era of empires. Here’s what makes this piece special:
Intricate Design: Each oval link is cut, soldered, and formed by hand from 10-gauge solid sterling silver wire. Each round link is handmade from 14-gauge solid sterling silver wire and individually woven by hand.
Substantial Weight and Durability: The chain's solid construction provides a luxurious, weighty feel and exceptional durability, designed to last a lifetime.
Versatile Width and Lengths: Width: 10mm at the ovals, creating a bold and refined statement. Lengths Available: Choose from 16, 18, or 20 inches to suit any style or layering preference.
Shiny Finish: A subtle black patina enhances contrast, depth, and dimension, creating an eye-catching shine, perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Timeless Design: Classic style that can be worn alone or layered with other pieces, crafted to be passed down through generations.
Secure & Sculptural Clasp: Completed with our handmade toggle clasp for added security and a bold accent. Distinctive clasp can also be worn in the front as a focal piece.

The Bark Ring
I met Kristin and Chris at the 2024 Iowa City Arts Fest. I really liked the Bark ring, but wanted a band that was wider. Chris produced the ring, and a short time later I was wearing and loving it. So at the 2025 Iowa City Arts Fest I purchased one for my partner. She loves it just as much as I do. Unique and affordable jewelry crafted by people with excellent vision and artistry!

High Quality and One of a Kind
I've bought/received several pieces of Kristin Christopher jewelry (a necklace and two rings), and they're always perfect! The quality of the jewelry is evident, and each piece is one of a kind with its hand-stamped patterns. Great as gifts to others or as a gift for yourself :) Kristin is also so easy to work with if there are any concerns or resizing needs. Great communication, high-quality pieces, and always something new! Pictured is the most recent ring I got back after needing a bit of a resize.

Exceptional Craftsmanship and Design
I have bought many pieces from Kristin and Chris over the years...for myself and as gifts. Their designs are timeless but also unique. The exceptional craftsmanship can be noticed down to every jump ring or ear wire. The scope and thoughtfulness of their work speaks to their training and you can admire those qualities when you hold a Kristin Christopher piece in your hands. I feel lucky to wear their designs!
