Chain Maille Jewellery

Course Duration : 2 hours
Tuition Fees : $115 +GST
(Includes course materials*)
Maille (also mail) is a type of armour or jewelry that consists of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh. Maille armour provided a highly effective defense against the weapons of the era. Maille was invented some time in the mid 1st millennium BC. It may have been invented independently in East Asia and in Europe. The use of maille was prominent throughout the High Middle Ages, and reached its apex in Europe, in terms of coverage, during the 13th century, when maille covered the whole body. Today, maille is very popular in jewelry, especially when made out of precious metals or colorful anodized metals. For these non-traditional applications hundreds of new weaves or patterns have been invented
