Anjo Design has crafted this pair of silver stainless steel earrings using traditional chain mail techniques. This intricate design takes its name from the four sets of ice blue rings intertwined with one another to great a forever knot. These earrings are a simple way to add some history and interest to your outfit.
Mail is often referred to in the modern day as ‘chain mail’ despite this being superfluous as both words have the same definition. Mail is believed to have been invented before the 5 th century and is the earliest form of metal armour known to man as it was used by the Etruscans and Romans. It is made using a range of materials, but most commonly steel or iron. It starts as wire which is wrapped around a rod to produce each metal link before being expertly assembled to produce the wearable garment.
Anjo Designs are a husband and wife partnership based on the Wirral who combine the traditional methods of mail with modern design influences to create bespoke jewellery. Everything they produce is hand crafted with precision, taking reference from historic mail and traditional techniques. This is an exclusive piece made by Anjo for the Royal Armouries and is inspired by our collection.
