Bad Tabby Designs
@badtabbydesigns.bsky.social
Bad Tabby Designs is bold contemporary chainmail jewelry. Every piece is made by hand using traditional weaves, but tailored for everyday wear. My goal is to challenge the perception of chainmail and bring it into the modern world, one piece at a time.

Unveiling a brand-new design just in time for the World Oddities Expo in Minneapolis! This stainless-steel pinecone pendant features a vivid emerald crystal at the tip — dense, weighty, and made for anyone who prefers their jewelry bold and unapologetic.

Today’s piece: a slinky 16-gauge stainless steel bracelet in Comet Weave. I first saw the pattern from Josh Diliberto and had to try it myself. The movement is addictive—part jewelry, part fidgetable art.

Workshop Wednesday: Copper has been showing up a lot in the studio, and since pure copper clasps aren’t easy to source, I craft them myself. Each hook clasp is hammered, soldered, shaped, and polished by hand—strong, secure, and made to complement the finished piece.

Today’s piece is a monster of a bracelet—dual-row Byzantine in heavy 16-gauge copper, segmented with larger intervals and finished with a copper slide-lock clasp. Big. Bold. Beautiful.

Today’s piece is the smaller companion to Tuesday’s Orc Weave necklace—still punk, still spiked, but more refined and understated. A perfect subtle flex.

✨ Workshop Wednesday! product photography! I tried building a new top-support system so earrings can be photographed without that pesky black bar in the shot. It’s better—but not perfect.

Posting this one again because it’s still my booth’s biggest showpiece. And honestly, I’m excited for the day it sells—because then I get to design the next centerpiece. Can’t wait to see what that becomes.#Chainmail #Jewelry #BadTabbyDesigns
