Behind the Design: Derived from the Old Norse prefix fjöl-, meaning “many,” Fyohl is a limited-batch series created exclusively to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. The design integrates the progressive pride spectrum directly into the structural architecture of the Helm weave. This translation serves as a direct tribute to the vast diversity within the community. By securing these colors within the parallel geometry of the chain, the piece emphasizes the strength found in inclusion.

Quick Answers
What is Gun Metal Black plating?
Gun Metal Black is a dark metallic plating with a hematite-like finish — deeper than silver, lighter than matte black, with a subtle dark iridescence that shifts as the rings catch light. The Gun Metal Black plating of the iron rings is specifically chosen for its subtle iridescent luster, which mimics the appearance of Blóðsteinn — the Old Norse term for hematite. It's the signature finish across FireGryphon chainmail.

How do I care for the bracelet?
Built for daily wear — put it on before work and go. Take it off before the gym, the shower, swimming, or bed, and avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and abrasive surfaces. Color coating / Gun Metal Black plating / woven wire is durable for everyday wear, but moisture and friction can dull it over time. To clean, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store in a dry place.

What is a chainmail bracelet?
A chainmail bracelet is built from individually connected metal rings, forming a flexible, interlocked structure rather than a solid or woven piece.

Is the bracelet flexible or rigid?
Chainmail is flexible, but less flexible than standard chain link. It moves naturally with the wrist, but forcing it into tight angles can damage the structure

Is this bracelet handmade?
Yes. Each ring is placed and connected by hand, creating the final structure.

How do you open and close the toggle clasp?
Slide the bar through the ring to open. To close, pass the bar back through the ring and rotate it so it rests across the opening.

Tip: Keep slight tension on the bracelet when closing to help hold the bar in place.
