Introducing our new line of Premium Anodized Aluminum Scales!  These scales have been anodized after being formed, so they are anodized and colored on every edge. The only contact marks on the Premium Anodized scales are on the inside of the holes from how we mount them on our specialized Anodizing equipment, and are not visible on finished Scale Mail.  We are making all of these ourselves in relatively small and efficient batches to keep quality high and prices as low as possible. We hope to expand our offerings of these Scales to at least as many colors as we have in our Anodized Aluminum ring category as we "scale" up. These are made of a slightly different Aluminum Alloy than our Anodized Aluminum rings are, but the colors and finish should all be comparable to our ring colors! We hope you love them!

-Joe

NOTE: Color shade may also vary slightly from batch to batch, so be sure to order plenty for what you need for a single project at a time!

Large Scales - use with 16SWG 5/16" ID rings

Medium Scales - use with 18SWG 1/4" ID rings

Small Scales - use with 18SWG 3/16" ID rings

Approximately 2 rings are required for each scale, depending on your design.

As this is a completely new product line of ours, if you don't see a color or size listed it's either because we haven't made it yet or we ran out of one we already made.  Once our stocking levels are sufficient we may also offer these in much larger bulk amounts like 500ct or 1000ct.

Large Scales - Dimensions are 1.41"x7/8" with a 0.35" hole for mounting
Medium Scales - Dimensions are 1.1"x0.7" with a 0.285" hole for mounting
Small Scales - Dimensions are 7/8"x9/16" with a 0.22" hole for mounting

Large Scales - Coverage area is approximately 300 scales per square foot
Medium Scales - Coverage area is approximately 600-700 scales per square foot
Small Scales - Coverage area is approximately 1000 scales per square foot

    Absolutely Beautiful!

    I got both the Black and the Kelly Green scales and the color and quality are absolutely beautiful! I am especially in awe of the green because it looks exactly like the photos and just POPS while not being glossy (which is EXACTLY what I wanted!) I have already finished one project and look forward to many more with these!

    Best Scales

    Posted by Tori F on Oct 10th 2025

    I've tried many other 'dragon' scales and these are by far the best ones. They are fully emerged in color, they aren't sharp by smoothy cut. These are amazing to wear!

    I love that CJ does scales too, they’re always top quality just like their rings, and the colors are absolutely gorgeous!

    Brilliant color and excellent construction

    Posted by Shanan on Jun 30th 2025

    The blue scales are so pretty! But more importantly, the color and size is consistent and the holes are centered. Can't ask for much better!

    Great Scales

    Posted by Travis Hunt on Apr 30th 2025

    I prefer to get Scales from Chainmail Joe. They don't have sharp edges, the color covers the whole scale no exposed edges. Just a consistent great product. I wish they offered a bulk option. My last project took 12 bags.

    Give me SCALES!!

    These are the best quality scales you can buy (without going to steel). After ordering about 500 of them, only 3 had black smudges that I wiped off. I wouldn't buy them anywhere else. Pretty sure I will buy so many of them, he can get a new house.....
