Chinook Arch – Small Necklace
From the Forge & Flourish collection
$110.74 CAD
In stock
Calgarians know the arch: a band of clear sky over the Rockies that means the chinook is coming and the snow is leaving. This one stays put, for the days the wind doesn't show.
It carries one working gear that turns under a fingertip, not on its own. Cut to precise tolerances, with the quiet satisfaction of winding a mechanical watch.
Size: 17 × 49 × 7 mm (width × height × depth as it hangs, with the bale and gears; the chain isn't included)
Materials: 316 stainless steel plates, with brass and anodized aluminum gears and hardware
Chain: rolo, Fine or Standard, 18 to 32 inches, or no chain
Guides: Sizing information · Our gemstones
The gear's colour and thickness are your choice when you order.
Hand-assembled to order in Calgary, Alberta, by the kinetic jewellery studio founded by Jeff de Boer (RCA, ASA), the artist behind the Mouse Armour series. Most pieces ship within 5–7 business days.

The gear I selected was Medium Thin Brass, smaller than the one in the description picture. It is gorgeous, they are all super fun and very creative!

The Studio
Built by Hand in Calgary
Every Armét piece is cut, assembled and checked by hand in Jeff de Boer's home studio in Calgary, at the bench where he has made armour for cats and mice since 1986. Forty years of making things that move; these are the ones you can wear.
Questions, Answered
Every piece is built to order, not pulled off a shelf. Jeff usually builds once a week, and more often when the orders pile up. Need it by a certain date? Tell us when you order and we'll do our best to get it out the door sooner. Where we ship, tracking and duties are all in our shipping policy.
They turn freely, but something has to supply the push: your fingertip, or a very small motor. They interlock, so turning one turns its neighbours.
The plates are 316 stainless steel, and the gears are brass or anodized aluminum. In all the years we've been making them, no one has told us the steel disagreed with their skin.
Yes, and no hard feelings. Tell us within 30 days of delivery and we'll send you the address to return it to. The jewellery is modular, so we can take a returned piece apart and give its parts a second life in another design. The fine print is in our refund policy.
Happily, and further than you might think. We've built one-off pieces from our parts, designed pieces with a couple for their bridesmaids to wear, and once made a pendant in silver and cast gold for a client's anniversary. Custom pieces make good corporate gifts too. A new plate costs more, because it's designed and cut just for you. Write to us and Jeff will talk it through with you.
