IRONSKALD

Our craft

Made at the bench, not on a line

Ironskald pieces are worked by hand in small batches. Nothing is cast, nothing is mass-plated.

Process

Four stages, one braid

  1. Stage 1

    Drawing

    Solid copper wire is drawn down to working gauge and annealed soft.

  2. Stage 2

    Braiding

    Strands are braided by hand — the tension decides the final character.

  3. Stage 3

    Terminals

    Ends are bound, soldered and shaped into weighted, wearable terminals.

  4. Stage 4

    Finishing

    Burnished, sealed where needed, then left to take its own patina.
