Bunch of Grapes Chain Mail Earrings – Anjo Designs
Anjo Design has crafted this pair of silver stainless steel earrings using traditional chain mail techniques. As the name states, this beautiful design emulates a bunch of grapes hanging from a branch. The silver stainless steel rings are plentiful at the stud and descend into 3 interlinked blue rings. These earrings are a real statement piece which sparkle when they catch the light.
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.
