Double Diamond Gold Chain Mail Drop Earrings – Anjo Designs
These stunning Double Diamond earrings are a unique Anjo creation, blending shiny stainless steel with a golden centre for an eye-catching finish. They have been constructed using traditional chainmail techniques, making them a fascinating blend of history and fashion.
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 handcrafted 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.
