Since the first time Blue Buddha Boutique designer Rebeca Mojica picked up a pair of pliers and created a chainmaille piece, she knew this intricate type of jewelry making would become her passion.  Four short years later, Rebeca has an extensive line of chainmaille designs which include:  earrings, necklaces, bracelets, curtains and pull chains for fixtures. 

Rebeca's take on jewelry is not run-of-the-mill.  Her uniquely woven metal pieces are very special and original.  If you are lucky enough to live in the Chicago area, consider taking one of her chainmaille jewelry making classes taught at LillStreet Art Center.  For more information about Rebeca's collection, visit her at www.bluebuddhaboutique.com .
